Great day today working in the lab with this guy and many other classic fossils. As always, remarkable what they have to teach us.

They look all cute and cuddly but these little guys will steal your lunch (literally)! This vervet monkey was spotted at Sediba Safari Lodge. #soft #blueskyartshow #safari #sediba #southarfica #animals #animalphotos #vervetmonkey #softbackground #shallowdof #photos #photography

"...we can't definitively say that these early humans crafted stone tools... their hands were frequently used in ways that closely align with the actions necessary for human tool manipulation"

I get to visit and work in some remarkable places that I love to share with people. Last week I was out at the Malapa site, on the Greater Cradle Nature Reserve, where the team works to recover and understand the fossils of Australopithecus sediba.

Spent today getting some essential work done in the fossil vault. Australopithecus sediba has a special place there and a lot more for us to discover I am sure!

MH1, the ”skull in the rock”, represents a child of between 8 and 11 years of age belonging to the species Australopithecus sediba. This and other fossils from Malapa, South Africa, are approximately 2 million years old. #inktober

Hands from two hominin species show that the path to dexterity and tool use was gradual, according to a new #ScienceAdvances study. scim.ag/4ktyIi2

Hay cierto debate al respecto. El ancestro también podría ser Australopithecus africanus, sediba o garhi.

An updated analysis of hominin phylogeny with an emphasis on re-evaluating the phylogenetic relationships of Australopithecus sediba 🏺🧪

This finds sediba is plausibly terminal end of a lineage that shared a common ancestor w/ earliest Homo

Australopithecus sediba (~2 mya) and Homo naledi (~250 kya) have distinct hand structures suggesting diverse dexterity and climbing skills. This challenges a more linear perspective of human evolution and highlights varied adaptations in tool use and locomotion. 🧪
