Long time ago, in a region Afar Afar away...
I am really excited to share news of this new jaw...until now Paranthropus had been conspicuously absent from the Afar.

Fieldwork at Mille-Logya is not easy, and this fossil is the result of years of very hard work (and a lot of days of dry screening by our team)!

With all this talk of cow tools now's a good time to mention my new paper with @abigaildesmond.bsky.social titled 'Why don't all animals use tools?' 🧪🛠️🐮

It's in press at the journal Animal Behaviour & Cognition. You can get a pdf of the accepted version from the research page of my site 🧵 1/

Dr. Ian Tattersall joins #TheStoryOfUs to discuss why the "Ladder of Progress" is dead and why Homo sapiens became the ecological wild card of the planet.

Misliya Cave, Israel, is in the limestone massif known as Mount Carmel, looking west onto the Mediterranean. Breccia deposits from the mostly-deroofed cave include a human maxilla and early Middle Paleolithic artifacts from 177,000–195,000 years ago.
