Australopithecus Sediba, Your Ancient Relative

Jean-Jacques HublinPaléantropologieCollège de FranceAnnée 2022-2023Colloque - Les héritiers de Lucy / Lucy's Heirs : Is Australopithecus Sediba the Ancestor of Homo? A Dental PerspectiveIntervenant(s)Thomas Davies, University of Kent, Canterbury, UKColloque en hommage à Yves Coppens.Organisé par le Collège de France et la Fondation Hugot du Collège de France.Avec le soutien du Musée de l'Homme et de la Société des Amis du Musée de l'Homme.PrésentationLa disparition d'Yves Coppens le 22 juin 2022 a provoqué une vive émotion au sein de la communauté des paléoanthropologues et bien au-delà. Cette personnalité hors norme a profondément marqué sa discipline à la fois par une contribution scientifique exceptionnelle, mais aussi par un impact inégalé auprès d'un très large public. En son hommage, la chaire de Paléoanthropologie du Collège de France organise, avec le soutien de plusieurs partenaires, un colloque exceptionnel intitulé « Les héritiers de Lucy ». Il se tiendra dans l'amphithéâtre Marguerite de Navarre du Collège de France les 15 et 16 juin prochains.Depuis la découverte de la fameuse « Lucy », les découvertes se sont succédé sur le continent africain à un rythme toujours accéléré, avec notamment la mise en évidence de plusieurs espèces d'Hominines fossiles jusqu'alors inconnues. Les innovations méthodologiques ont été, elles aussi, nombreuses et ont conduit à des réinterprétations parfois radicales des données existantes. Ces progrès spectaculaires offrent aujourd'hui à nos yeux un paysage complètement renouvelé. Nous sommes passés d'une vision linéaire de l'évolution humaine à un buissonnement et une diversité longtemps insoupçonnée de formes d'Hominines aujourd'hui éteintes.Le colloque « Les héritiers de Lucy » rassemblera les meilleurs spécialistes internationaux des Hominines anciens. Il permettra de faire le point sur les nombreuses avancées réalisées depuis les premiers travaux d'Yves Coppens au Tchad et en Éthiopie. Plusieurs générations de chercheurs pourront y confronter leurs résultats et leurs points de vue sur une période cruciale de notre évolution qui a vu l'émergence du genre Homo et porte donc en germe l'Homme véritable.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Steven Churchill is a Professor and past Chair of the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University. He is also an Honorary Reader in the Evolutionary Studies Institute and Centre for Excellence in PalaeoSciences at the University of the Witwatersrand. He is a paleontologist who studies the fossil record of human evolution, especially that of early members of our genus (Homo) that lived between about two million to ten thousand years ago. In this episode, we talk about aspects of human evolution. We start by asking where it starts. We talk about anatomical features anthropologists use to classify fossils, the classification of species, and determining the sex of a specimen. We get deep into Homo naledi and Australopithecus sediba, two new species discovered by Dr. Churchill and his collaborators. We go through the timeline of our evolution since H. erectus. We discuss the oldest hominin species, and how to compare hominins behaviorally with other apes, primates and other animal groups. We talk about behavioral modernity, and the role of self-domestication in our evolution. Finally, we discuss how speculative is the history of human evolution. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

This month, the bones missing from Australopithecus sediba's backbone are uncovered, but what do they reveal about this ancient hominid's posture? Also, why a link to the nervous system is crucial for salamander limb regeneration, the bacteria that can treat bacterial infections, the social stomach in ant colonies, and even old worms can combat the ageing process...

For tonight's Weird and Wonderful tonight; An international team of scientists from New York University, the University of Johannesburg (UJ), the University of the Witwatersrand and 14 other institutions revealed the discovery of two-million-year-old fossil vertebrae from an extinct species of ancient human relative, in research published in the open access journal e-Life on 23 November 2021. They discovered that the wew lower back fossils are the “missing link” that settles a decades old debate proving early hominins used their upper limbs to climb like apes, and their lower limbs to walk like humans. Dr Christopher Yelverton, Head of Department (HoD): Chiropractic, UJ and Prof Shahed Nalla, Associate Professor (Human Anatomy) on the Faculty of Health Sciences, UJ joins us to talk about this discovery.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
