The Krapina Neandertal sample provides one of the most extensive dental records of any fossil #hominin population. Third molars may have erupted a bit earlier in this ancient group than in most people today, although within our extensive range of variability. @paleoanthropology

A hint of the social behavior of early Homo erectus comes from the earliest known #hominin to survive with near total loss of teeth, 1.8 million years ago. Some wild primates also survive years with little functional dentition. #paleoanthropology #FossilFriday

Paranthropus was a biped like today's humans, but may have used its legs a little differently. Some researchers think the species was climbing more, others point to the dynamics of a relatively wide pelvis in this #hominin. #paleoanthropology #sciart

The femoral morphology of #Homonaledi represents a human pattern of walking and running with a relatively wider pelvis. The proximal femur evolved to solve this functional equation. #hominin #paleoanthropology

The Mojokerto #hominin skull is one of the most important clues about brain size development in Homo erectus. At less than 4 years old, its brain was already larger than many adults known for the species. #paleoanthropology

The discovery of the MLD 18 #hominin mandible in 1953 followed the sorting and movement of more than 5000 tons of miners' dump material. The fossil comes from one of the older adult individuals known for Australopithecus africanus. #paleoanthropology

KNM-ER 1470 and KNM-ER 62000 died near the shore of the same lake, but some 100,000 years apart. That's a lot of time for population movement and change. For a species that may have existed for much longer, it is a thin strand that we have uncovered so far.

The three bones of the Swanscombe #hominin skull were found across 20 years within a gravel layer in the course of the ancient Thames River. The skull belonged to an early relative of Neandertals. #paleoanthropology #sciart

The La Quina 18 individual is one of the most complete skulls of a Neandertal child. Impressed with the Mousterian stone tools there, Léon Henri-Martin bought the site and excavated there for thirty years. #paleoanthropology

In 2002, a travertine quarry near Kocabaş, Turkey, sliced through a Homo erectus skull. Only one 35-mm segment was identified. The rest of this 1.4-million-year-old #hominin skull might possibly be tiled into someone's floor. #paleoanthropology
