Some parts of the skeleton are very rare in the #hominin fossil record. The hand remains of Homo naledi, including this articulated specimen, tell us much about the tool-using potential of this species, while suggesting it was a great climber. #paleoanthropology
Some fossil #hominin skulls have an important place in understanding the variation of extinct species. Stw 505 is a large Australopithecus africanus skull, helping to show that big individuals had brains that overlapped in size with the larger-brained Homo. #paleoanthropology
Students of #hominin evolution quickly pick up the differences between big-toothed Paranthropus boisei and our genus, Homo. Yet there are still anatomical overlaps between these lineages that make some of the fossils from Koobi Fora challenging to interpret. #paleoanthropology
Could Australopithecus have been the first hominin genus to migrate out of Africa? We haven't found them in Eurasia yet, but this specimen from Chad suggests that they were widespread far from the East African rift and South African caves. #hominin #paleoanthropology
Fossils of Australopithecus and Homo were all obligate bipeds, but their pelvic remains do exhibit some differences. Australopithecus sediba blurs the boundary. With its Homo-like pelvis, this species may be a closer human relative. #hominin #paleoanthropology

Uncovering more evidence that modern humans arose amid great genetic and morphological diversity in Africa, we look at fossils like the Eliye Springs skull with new eyes. Found in reworked deposits, the age of this ancient-looking skull is unknown. #hominin #paleoanthropology
More and more, we rely on molecular data from DNA and protein to understand ancient #hominin populations. Fahu Chen and coworkers identified Denisovan-like protein sequence in the dentin of this mandibular fragment from Xiahe, China. #paleoanthropology
Personally I missed this: Alien Hominid

This is my first time tackling the fnf style, AND I ALREADY MASTERED IT! Definitely expect more in the future!

Many of the most important fossils of human relatives are distorted or fragmented. TM 1517 is the holotype of Paranthropus robustus, found in 1938. Here I've done a reconstruction by mirror-imaging the parts that survived fossilization and erosion. #paleoanthropology #hominin

KNM-ER 1470 is one of the most iconic fossils in human origins. Found in 1972 it remains an outlier: brain size larger than other large-toothed hominins. Today scientists attribute it and a handful of other fossils to Homo rudolfensis. #hominin #paleoanthropology
