Yellow flyer featuring Kay Behrensmeyer, the 2025 recipient of the The Charles R. Darwin Lifetime Achievement Award. Her foundational work on the environments of fossil hominins, and the processes that led to their fossilization and preservation, have shaped the way that modern paleoanthropologists conduct their field research. Nomination materials emphasized Dr. Behrensmeyer’s trailblazing career, expansive mentorship, and outreach efforts.

An open-access collection of early fossil hominin scans from Swartkrans, South Africa was recently published in the journal PaleoAnthropology by Skinner et al. Both Paranthropus robustus & early Homo are represented in the assemblage.

Image from Skinner et al (2025) showing the SK 46 fossil specimen (a cranium typically attributed to Paranthropus robustus) from Swartkrans, South Africa. The specimen is depicted in sagittal section from the microCT image (top right) and as surface renderings of the cranium in anterior view (top left), lateral view (bottom left), and inferior view (bottom right).
