#OnThisDay in 1908, a pickaxe struck the side of a remarkable skull. It was the discovery of the Neanderthal known as the Old Man from La Chapelle, one of the most important specimens in the history of paleoanthropology. https://t.co/zv9FthqNzP #fossils

Happy #histsci birthday to legendary naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. He co-discovered evolution through natural selection during an 8-year journey through Southeast Asia, a trek that spanned over 14,000 miles and resulted in the collection of over 125,000 specimens. #OnThisDay
I'm super excited to visit @PerotMuseum in a couple of weeks for a #scicomm conference centered around paleoanthropology! In addition to what promises to be a great discussion, I can't wait to see the fascinating origins exhibit (complete with #fossils on loan from South Africa).
