Fossil hominids
The recent discovery of hand and foot bones in Kenya is revolutionizing our understanding of Paranthropus boisei, a 1.5-million-year-old human relative. The findings suggest that P. boisei had strong, gorilla-like hands and surprisingly human-like feet, offering a fresh perspective on how early hominins evolved and moved. Key Takeaways: * The

Fossil hominids
Understanding the environment of our early ancestors requires piecing together their living conditions, which is a puzzle scientists have been trying to solve for decades. Researching the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa, a site revered for its rich early human fossil history, has been crucial in understanding the setting

A research team from Washington University in St. Louis has published a study in Communications Biology that revisits the 4.4-million-year-old Ardipithecus skeleton, also known as "Ardi," discovered in 1994. The study, led by Thomas (Cody) Prang, assistant professor of biological anthropology, presents compelling evidence that humans evolved
Apes
A newly discovered Australopithecus species has been found in Ethiopia's Afar region, coexisting with early Homo around 2.6 million years ago, challenging the long-held assumption about the path of human evolution. Led by Dr. Brian Villmoare from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the study forms part
Archaeology
Human evolution narrative has been rewritten with the discovery of 13 fossil teeth in Ethiopia's Afar region, which suggest that two distinct human ancestor species lived alongside each other between 2.6 and 2.8 million years ago. The analysis of the teeth, published in the journal Nature,
