Podcasts about paranthropus

In this captivating episode of “The Story of Us,” Season 5, Episode 2, we're honored to host Dr. Clément Zanolli, a distinguished paleoanthropologist from the University of Bordeaux. Dr. Zanolli shares his firsthand experiences from the groundbreaking discovery of Paranthropus capensis, a newly identified hominin species. This remarkable find stems from the analysis of the SK 15 mandible, a 1.4-million-year-old fossil unearthed in South Africa's Swartkrans Cave. The identification of P. capensis offers fresh insights into the diversity of early hominins and their evolutionary relationships. We delve into the intriguing possibility of a connection between Homo naledi and this new species, exploring how such relationships reshape our understanding of human evolution. Dr. Zanolli also provides valuable fieldwork tips and reflects on the profound experience of participating in the discovery of an entirely new hominin species. Additionally, we discuss the future directions of paleoanthropological research and what these discoveries mean for the broader narrative of human origins.Don't miss this enlightening conversation that bridges the past and the present, shedding light on the complex tapestry of our ancestry.#ParanthropusCapensis, #HomoNaledi, #HumanEvolution, #Paleoanthropology, #DrClementZanolli, #SwartkransCave, #FossilDiscovery, #AnthropologyPodcast, #TheStoryOfUs, #HumanOrigins

durée : 00:05:38 - Avec sciences - par : Alexandra Delbot - Des empreintes vieilles d'1,5 million d'années, révèlent une cohabitation possible entre Homo erectus et Paranthropus boisei, deux espèces d'hominines. Une hypothèse fascinante, bien que les empreintes soient fragiles et l'attribution des espèces complexe.

Scientists say ancient footprints left in wet dirt on a Kenyan lakeside suggest that two early human ancestors were neighbors about 1.5 million years ago. 科学家表示，肯尼亚湖畔湿泥土中留下的古代脚印表明，大约 150 万年前，两个早期人类祖先是邻居。 Two separate species made the sets of footprints “within a matter of hours, or at most days,” said paleontologist Louise Leakey, a writer of the research published recently in the journal Science. Paleontologists study fossils to learn about the history of life on Earth. 最近发表在《科学》杂志上的这项研究的作者、古生物学家路易丝·利基 (Louise Leakey) 说，两个不同的物种“在几个小时内，或者最多几天内”就留下了这组脚印。古生物学家研究化石是为了了解地球上生命的历史。Scientists already knew from earlier fossil finds that these two extinct lines of human development – called Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei – lived about the same time in the Turkana Basin. 科学家们从早期的化石发现中已经知道，这两个已灭绝的人类进化谱系——直立人和博伊西傍人——大约同时生活在图尔卡纳盆地。 But dating fossils is not exact. “It's plus or minus a few thousand years,” said paleontologist William Harcourt-Smith of Lehman College and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. He was not involved in the study 但化石年代测定并不准确。“这正负了几千年，”纽约雷曼学院和美国自然历史博物馆的古生物学家威廉·哈考特·史密斯说。他没有参与这项研究 Yet with fossil footprints, “there's an actual moment in time preserved,” he said. “It's an amazing discovery.” 然而，有了化石足迹，“就保存了一个真实的时间点，”他说。“这是一个惊人的发现。” Researchers found the fossil footprints in 2021 in what is today Koobi Fora, Kenya, said Leaky, who is based at Stony Brook University in New York. 纽约石溪大学的 Leaky 表示，研究人员于 2021 年在今天的肯尼亚库比福拉发现了化石足迹。 Study co-writer Kevin Hatala is a paleoanthropologist at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He said the two species likely knew of each other's existence whether they left the prints at the same time or a day or two apart. 研究合著者凯文·哈塔拉是宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡查塔姆大学的古人类学家。他说，这两个物种很可能知道彼此的存在，无论它们是同时留下的脚印还是相隔一两天留下的脚印。 “They probably saw each other, probably knew each other was there and probably influenced each other in some way,” Hatala said. 哈塔拉说：“他们可能见过对方，可能知道对方在那里，并且可能以某种方式互相影响。” Scientists were able to tell the difference between the two species because of the shape of the footprints. The shape of each informed researchers about the structure of the foot and how it was being used at the time. 由于脚印的形状，科学家们能够区分这两个物种。每个脚的形状都让研究人员了解脚的结构以及当时的使用方式。 Homo erectus appeared to be walking similarly to how modern humans walk – striking the ground heel first, then moving weight over the ball of the foot and toes and pushing off again. 直立人的行走方式似乎与现代人的行走方式类似——脚跟先着地，然后将重量转移到脚掌和脚趾上，然后再次推出。 The other species, which was also walking upright, was moving “in a different way from anything else we've seen before, anywhere else,” said co-writer Erin Marie Williams-Hatala, a human development anatomist at Chatham. 另一种物种也是直立行走，其移动方式“与我们之前在其他地方见过的任何其他物种都不同”，查塔姆人类发育解剖学家、合著者艾琳·玛丽·威廉姆斯-哈塔拉（Erin Marie Williams-Hatala）说。 Among other details, the footprints suggest greater ability of movement in their big toe, compared to Homo erectus or modern humans, said Hatala. 哈塔拉说，除其他细节外，这些脚印表明，与直立人或现代人类相比，他们的大脚趾具有更强的运动能力。 Our common primate ancestors probably had hands and feet fit for grasping branches. But, over time, the feet of human ancestors developed to permit walking upright, researchers say. 我们共同的灵长类祖先可能有适合抓握树枝的手和脚。但研究人员表示，随着时间的推移，人类祖先的脚进化到可以直立行走。 The new study adds to a growing amount of research that suggests the change to walking on two feet did not happen at a single moment, in a single way. 越来越多的研究表明，双脚行走的改变并不是在某一时刻以单一方式发生的，这项新研究是对这一结果的补充。 Instead, there may have been a number of ways that early humans learned to walk, run and slide on prehistoric muddy hills. 相反，早期人类可能通过多种方式学会了在史前泥泞的山丘上行走、跑步和滑行。 “It turns out, there are different gait mechanics – different ways of being bipedal,” said Harcourt-Smith. “事实证明，存在不同的步态机制——双足行走的不同方式，”哈考特-史密斯说。

What the dinosaurs left behind tells the story of their rise to dominanceBones aren't the only thing we can use to understand the dinosaurs. A new study of a rich trove of fossilized feces and vomit is telling the story of how dinosaurs diversified and came to dominate the planet starting 230 million years ago. Paleontologist Martin Qvarnström from Uppsala University in Sweden said it appears that the secret to dinosaurs' success is in their ability to adapt to their changing environment. Their research is published in the journal Nature. A new kind of ‘walking' shorts could help with mobilityScientists have incorporated artificial tendons and electric motors into shorts to provide support and assistance to the hip flexor muscles that are critical for walking. In both young and old people the shorts improved performance and so could make a difference for those whose mobility has been compromised. Enrica Tricomi, a visiting researcher at the Technical University of Munich, co-developed this prototype. The study was published in the journal Nature.Shining a bright light on a new way to discourage shark attacksSharks attacks on humans are often a result of mistaken identity, when they mistake a swimming human or a surfboard for a seal or sea lion. Researchers have found that a bright patterns of LED lights can break up the visual pattern of a swimmer so that they look less like a shark's usual prey. Dr. Lucille Chapuis was part of the team that tested various patterns of lights in Seal Island, South Africa. Their research was published in Current Biology.Different species of humans walked side-by-side in Africa millions of years agoPreserved footprints near a lakeshore in Kenya show that two species of early humans, Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei, shared the same watering hole 1.5 million years ago. This is the first direct evidence of two species of hominids sharing the same space at the same time.Dr. Kevin Hatala, professor of Biology at Chatham University, and his team's findings are in the journal Science. We no longer know how to make humans live longer – only betterHuman lifespan lengthened amazingly in the 20th century, thanks to reductions in infant mortality, improvements in public health, and successes against infectious disease. But according to a new study by S. Jay Olshansky, those gains have started to flatline in recent years. By looking at the countries with the longest lifespans, Olshansky and his colleagues found that we have traded childhood diseases for age-related diseases like cancers and Alzheimer's, and so we shouldn't expect to make many more gains in human lifespan using our current methods. Instead, he says, we should focus on improving the quality of the extra years we've gained so far. His work was published in the journal Nature Aging.We also speak with William Mair, a Professor of Molecular Metabolism at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is part of a new field of study called Geroscience, which looks at slowing down the process of aging as a whole. In his lab he has been able to extend the lifespan of simpler creatures like nematode worms and mice, and says while we have no proof we can extend a human's maximum lifespan at this time, that doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future. 

First up this week, making electronics greener with leaves. Host Sarah Crespi talks with Newsletter Editor Christie Wilcox about using the cellulose skeletons of leaves to create robust, biodegradable backings for computer chips. This sustainable approach can be used for printing circuits and making organic light-emitting diodes and if widely adopted, could massively reduce the carbon footprint of electronics.  Next on the show, Kevin Hatala, a biology professor at Chatham University, joins producer Meagan Cantwell to discuss fossil footprints unearthed in the Turkana Basin of Kenya. A 13-step long track with three perpendicular footprints likely show two different species of early humans, Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei, walked on the same shorelines.

(Image source: https://www.science.org/content/article/one-ancient-human-relative-use-early-stone-tools) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Ben O'Regan discuss Paranthropus, one of our ancestors' relatives that didn't fully make the transition into cavemen and died off before they could see what humanity would become. They were the lucky ones. From the Late Pliocene, this 4-foot-tall hominid used simple tools like sticks and rocks and plucked fruit off of trees and basically were just monkeying around. Sorry, that was low-hanging fruit… much like the ones they plucked off of trees… okay I'm done. Want to further support the show?

Jean-Jacques HublinPaléantropologieCollège de FranceAnnée 2022-2023Colloque - Les héritiers de Lucy / Lucy's Heirs : Dinner with Lucy: What Does Paranthropus Boisei Bring to the Table?Intervenant(s)Matt Sponheimer, University of Colorado at Boulder, USAColloque 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.

Chinese biophysicist He Jiankui caused international outrage when in 2018 when he used the gene-editing tool known as CRISPR Cas-9 to edit the genomes of two human embryos. That experiment, described by the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology described as ‘abominable', resulted in the birth of twin girls. The experiment also landed Dr He in prison for three years. Now, out of prison and working for a company in Beijing that proclaims to offer “affordable gene therapy” – He Jiankui has been speaking in public. At an open bioethics event at the University of Kent last weekend, organisers invited the scientist to present his research and to face questions about his past experiments and his future plans. We spoke to event organiser Dr Joy Zhang about the reaction to event and to Professor Robin Lovell-Badge at the Crick Institute about the implications of CRISPR-CAS9 technology. A Hippo butchery site reveals that distant human ancestors have been using stone tools far longer than researchers previously thought. This archaeological site in Kenya revealed that ancient hominins Paranthropus have probably been using stone tools to prepare food and weapons since 2.9 million years ago. Professor Tom Plummer at Queens College, City University of New York take us through the discovery and what it reveals about hominin evolution. A study released this week reveals just how much of a burden sons are on killer whale mothers. Michael Wiess, research director at the centre for whale research, fills us in on their findings which are a product of nearly 40 years studying the southern resident Orca population. This long-term Whale census project began in the 70s, championed by researcher Ken Balcomb, who was passionate about understanding and protecting killer whales and who sadly passed away late last year. We hear from Ken and his team out on the water studying the southern residents, more of which can be found in BBC Radio 4 documentary The Whale Menopause.

Thomas Plummer, an archaeologist, had received information about the discovery of stone tools on the Homa Peninsula hillsides in Kenya. In an attempt to gain more knowledge, he initiated an excavation. However, instead of discovering more stone tools, he and his team came across numerous fossils of various animals such as crocodiles, antelopes, horses, and hippos. The fossils were accompanied by stone tools. But who made them? Evolution Talk is also a book!

Things discussed: Craig opens the door for Seth to go off on stuff you can read about on the John Hawks blog. Iowa's offense isn't caveman, it's an Australopithecus that evolved in a different direction. It's ugly football, but Michigan was correct to turtle into 1950s football and run out the clock. Seth: Makes a big difference that they scored some touchdowns. The first time Iowa walked down and tried to sell out against something they get gutted by the Ronnie Bell end-around. They were playing soft and conservative, Michigan ground them down like they did Washington last year. Worry about Colson spot dropping—it's about getting a feel for route combinations and where they next guy is coming from. Colson's still a true sophomore. Meanwhile Barrett was AGGRESSIVE! Iowa got some yards by using fullbacks against our smaller dudes but how many teams even have a fullback? Biggest concern? JJ McCarthy getting the deep ball back, Trente Jones's weird pass protection biffs, and linebacker depth: after Mullings had a bad week Rolder played as much as he did. Pass rush: Morris was great—he's very developed. Eyabi Okie: only out there for passing downs but !!!! and when those were runs he actually did his job. Mazi Smith: Hit a ceiling, isn't a great finisher (Seth calls it Karlaftis Disease) and shouldn't play every snap but not many teams are going to be heavy personnel to put Graham Mason on the field instead of backing up Smith. Indiana: What happened? Bad year on offense and they cleaned house and went full Walt Bell, who's all about speed in space and needed new players. Offense is all transfers, slot receiver is the scary guy but he's hurt. Might be a good matchup for Michigan because they want to attack Sainristil and Moore, get their RB singled up in an athletic contest with

  RSR host Fred Williams and Brodie Leitch continue to expose the deception behind the Smithonian's Hall of Origins and the widely promoted 'march of progress' illustration that has effectively fooled many into believing in evolution. Today's show uncovers the truth behind 3 more alleged ape-men promoted by the Smithonian: Ardipithecus kadabba, Ardipithecus ramidus (Ardi), and Australopithecus anamensis. The first alleged ape-man in the list was boldly proclaimed as bipedal, all based off of a single toe bone! The 2nd ape included 34 pulverized bones that 14 reconstructions later yielded the look wanted by Dr. Owen Lovejoy, who has a history of bonesaw reconstructions to produce fake ape-men to promote his propagandist narrative. Finally, the last ape-man in the list was just 3 bone fragments scattered 600 miles apart that is unlikely the same creature. As famed Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould once candidly admitted, “Most hominid fossils ... serve as a basis for endless speculation and elaborate storytelling" all based on "fragments of jaws and scraps of skulls”.  Ape-men article rebuttals 3 through 5... (see Smithonian Part 1 show for first two rebuttal articles; articles courtesy of Brodie Leitch) 3. Ardipithecus kadabba “Ardipithecus kadabba” (pronounced: “Aar-duh-pith-uh-kuhs kuh-dah-bah” and meaning “oldest ancestor” in the Afar language) was discovered in the Middle Awash Valley in Ethiopia in 1997. In spite of the fact that this alleged species “is only known in the fossil record by a few post-cranial bones and sets of teeth,” (a total of 36 bone fragments) The Smithsonian claims that: “‘Ardipithecus kadabba' was bipedal.” The “evidence” for this claim is: “One bone from the large toe has a broad, robust appearance, suggesting its use in bipedal push-off.” Claiming to have discovered an ape-man, (and a bipedal one, no less) based off of a single toe bone is already sketchy, but it gets worse for the evolutionists. In the same article, the Smithsonian admits that:“So far, the evidence for ‘Ardipithecus kadabba's' upright walking comes from a single toe bone that dates to 5.2 million years old [400,000 years younger than the other specimens] and was found 10 miles away from the other ‘Ardipithecus kadabba' specimens.” After their bold claim of bipedality and confession of such little evidence, the Smithsonian asks: “Was Ardipithecus kadabba routinely bipedal?”, “If Ardipithecus kadabba walked upright, what was its gait like?” and “is Ardipithecus kadabba somehow related to Orrorin tugenensis and Sahelanthropus tchadensis?” So not only are they unsure if “Ardipithecus kadabba” walked upright, they aren't sure it's related to humans either. 4. Ardipithecus ramidus (Ardi) (Partial skeleton (ARA-VP-6/500) "Ardi".) “Ardipithecus ramidus” (pronounced: “Aar-duh-pith-uh-kuhs ram-ee-dus” and nicknamed “Ardi”) was discovered in Middle Awash and Gona, Ethiopia between 1992 and 1994. The fragments were assembled into a partial skeleton in 2009. (15 years later.) The Smithsonian claims that: “Since that time, [1992-1994] [paleoanthropologist, Dr. Tim] White's team have uncovered over 100 fossil specimens of Ardipithecus ramidus.” Keep in mind that even with 100+ “specimens”, (which are only fragments and according to the Australia museum, “represent about 35 individual members of this species”) they still only have 1 skeleton. The discoverers argue that “the ‘Ardi' skeleton reflects a human-African ape common ancestor that was not chimpanzee-like.” However, the fossils were in such poor condition, that Dr. Tim White (the leading paleontologist on the team who discovered the fossils) stated that they were “like roadkill” with the discovery channel adding in their documentary, “Discovering Ardi”, that: “Her skull was found in 34 pulverized, scattered pieces that were compacted down to about one-and-a-half inches thick.” One of the allegedly human-like features is the pelvis. Some evolutionists claim that the pelvis shows adaptations that combine tree-climbing and bipedal activity. However, as reported in the Discovery Channel's documentary titled: “Discovering Ardi”, the pelvis was too badly broken and fragile to take out of the matrix it was in, so Dr. Owen Lovejoy made a reconstruction based on his knowledge of primate anatomy and a Micro CT scanner. After 14 different possible configurations, the team settled on the configuration shown in most reports. Secular paleo-experts Drs. Wood and Harrison, rightly expressed a great deal of concern about this, pointing out that “a whole lot of speculation went into the final pelvis reconstruction.” Dr. Jungers stated that: “That's really kind of a 3-D Rorschach test if you ask me,” and "I'm still not convinced that it's necessarily completely accurate”. The Smithsonian is still asking: “Does the pelvis of Ar. ramidus support the hypothesis that this early human species was bipedal?” (Ardi's Pelvis vs. Rorschach Inkblot Test) Dr. Lovejoy believes that Ardi's spine was probably long and curved like a human's rather than short and stiff like a chimp's. He based that belief on both the pelvis that was reconstructed 14 times and his guess that Ardi had 6 lumbar vertebrae, (despite the fact that most apes have only 3 or 4, and humans have 5) but they don't even have any of Ardi's lumbar vertebrae. The displays and animations of Ardi, insert an entirely imaginary spine (with a four-part curve like humans) into the reconstructed base of her skull using imaginary neck vertebrae. Most of the foramen magnum (the whole in the base of the skull where the spinal chord connects) which the imaginary spine is connected to, is also missing. Unlike Ardi's “human-like” features (which are speculative at best) Ardi's ape-like features are obvious. According to Science.org: “The skull of this tiny ape can fit into the palm of your hand like a softball and her brain was about the same size as bonobo or a female chimp.” In addition to that, Ardi's foot had a hallux, (grasping toe, hanging off to the side) just like apes have today so they can use their feet like hands for grabbing branches while moving in trees. According to Dr. Tim White, the toe “really doesn't differ from apes, and that's the surprising thing. It is fully apelike.” Dr. Jungers added “I see nothing in the foot that suggests bipedality.” As Genesis Apologetics states: “When you put her [Ardi] next to a bonobo, it sure seems like she fits into the ape family quite well.” 5. Australopithecus anamensis Australopithecus anamensis (pronounced “Ah-struh-low-pith-ee-kus A-na-men-sees”) is a set of fossil fragments, discovered between 1965 and 2019. (A 54-Year span)  Fossils of this “species” have been found in the Middle Awash region in northeast Ethiopia and at three sites (Allia Bay, Kanapoi and Sibolot) around Lake Turkana in Kenya. The areas in which these fossils were discovered are almost 600 miles apart. Most of the fragments undoubtedly came from apes. The Smithsonian's article on ‘Australopithecus anamensis' lists multiple obvious ape-like features: “Long forearms and features of the wrist bones suggest these individuals probably climbed trees” “a protruding face” “long and narrow braincase” “forwardly projecting cheekbones similar to Paranthropus” “thickly-built, long, narrow… strong jaws” “heavily enameled teeth” “The sites where remains of ‘Australopithecus anamensis' have been found were forests and woodlands that grew around lakes.” The Australian Museum adds:  “size was probably similar to that of modern chimpanzees” And the journal “Nature” reported that anamensis had:  “specialized wrist morphology associated with knuckle-walking.” Controversy has surrounded the allegedly more human-like nature of the tibia and humerus. The Smithsonian says that:  “The top part of the tibia (where the lower leg meets the knee) is concave, or depressed from stress. This shows that the individual often put weight on the bone—evidence of standing upright. The lower part of the tibia (where the lower leg meets the ankle) is wider or thicker—evidence that it acted as a type of shock absorber as this individual walked.” The Australian Museum says likewise: “the knee-end of the tibia (shin bone) was human-like as the upper surfaces of the two knobs (condyles) at the top of the tibia were similar in size and concave in shape. This feature indicates this species could walk bipedally (on two legs).” And the “Scientific American” adds: “The anamensis humerus lacks a deep, oval hollow, used as a locking mechanism between the humerus and ulna, the latter being present in chimpanzees, but not in humans, and the anamensis tibia is wide, as in humans, because of extra spongy tissue, which acts as shock absorbers during bipedal locomotion.” These are very strong claims considering that they're only based on 3 bone fragments. Contrary to these overly-confident claims, in a 1995

What do Sasquatch and sow bugs have in common? What would it take for a Sasquatch sighting to be considered a scientific discovery? How do curators identify creatures from a blurry photo?Find out on the newest episode of Intangible Alberta, the podcast where we explore Alberta's stories that can't be told from within a display case.In this episode, Mat chats with RAM Live Animals Supervisor (and unofficial Sasquatch expert), Pete Heule about unexpected isopods discovered in Rat's Nest Cave, and what they can tell us about cryptozoological efforts to prove the existence of Bigfoot. And what better day to dive into this lore than on the anniversary of the famous Patterson-Gimlin Sasquatch footage? (October 20, 1967)Listen on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts. Intangible Alberta is produced in partnership between the Royal Alberta Museum and Strathcona County Museum & Archives. Patterson-Gimlin Sasquatch image by Patterson–Gimlin film, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=434396 CORRECTION:  At 15:40 Pete mentions Loren Coleman and Paranthropus robustus being another large fossil ape. Paranthropus robustus was not a giant ape found in Southeast Asia, but a rather short South African human relative that was usually less than 45 kg. Because there are only giant molars and a lower jaw fragment fossils for Gigantopithecus blacki, Loren Coleman once told Pete that Paranthropus robustus was a better Sasquatch candidate as we have much more extensive skeletal evidence for them. How these apes could have made it from the Cradle of Humankind in Africa to the woods of North America is open to debate, while the 3 metre tall, 300 kg forest-dwelling Gigantopithecus blacki in China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia could arguably have crossed from Asia into North America through existing forested corridors on the Bering Land Bridge. Southeast Asia was indeed home to a diversity of human relatives, including the Hobbit Homo floresiensis, Homo erectus and others.

The debate between plant-based and animal-based eating was over 2 million years ago with the extinction of Paranthropus robustus...   Hear this story and a bit of mine in this week's edition of Controversial Thoughts, my Friday rant/monologue podcast on Fundamental Health.   The simple takeaway here is that 75% of omnivorous species lean heavily toward either plant or animal consumption as the majority of their diet.    I would argue that humans are not omnivore generalists but specialist omnivores adapted to eat an #animalbased diet...   Meat and organs have been at the center of evolution as Hominids for over 2 million years...   Eating meat and organs made us human!    And if you ask the Hadza what their favorite food is, they will tell you "Meat" in a split second! Their entire existence revolves around hunting...   So yes, CarnivoreMD is a proud #animal-based omnivore who hails from a long lineage of humans who have lived and died by their ability to hunt and eat animal foods above all other sources of food.    #theremembering 

Episode 32 This is Part 1 of 2 in our two-part series with Dr. Greta Bowling. In this episode, we dive deep into the timeline of Human Evolution. We first talk about how Darwin's Morphological Species Concept helped scientists answer the age-old question of do we, as humans, come from apes? In short, humans and apes share a common ancestor in the distant past. Primates first evolved 55 Mya (million years ago), but it was not until around 5.8-5.2 Mya would we see early “proto-humans,” or the Ardipithecus, show up in the fossil record. We talk through the timeline from Sahelanthropus tchadensis to Australopithicus afarensis, to the diets of Paranthropus robustus to the first hominins to migrate out of Africa, Homo ergaster, just to name a few. Fun facts are littered throughout and there is even a poem! Come join us in our adventure through geologic time. Do you even evolution?

Australian researchers say the discovery of a two-million-year-old skull in South Africa throws more light on human evolution. Neo-Darwinian evolution is just a theory, on Mark and Pete we are strong believers in creation being by God. The skull was a male Paranthropus robustus, a "cousin species" to Homo erectus - a species thought to be direct ancestors of modern humans. The two species lived around the same time, but Paranthropus robustus died out earlier. Mark and Pete look at the reasons for disappearance of this species and what it has to teach us about the evolution of Homo Sapiens today.

The battle between the Paranthropus boisei and the modern human/homo sapien.

hat was a clickbait title, any time we find new pieces of a skeleton from pre-human history it really is a missing link. Terminology to know Hominin– Any species of early human that is more closely related to humans than chimpanzees, including modern humans themselves. (At this point, this includes the genus homo, Australopithecus, Ardipithecus, and Paranthropus. These genus’ can and do change as various new fossils are found, which either add new genus’, or cast doubt on existing ones. Homo and australopithecus are the two most definite) Hominid– All modern AND extinct GREAT apes. Gorillas, chimps, orangs and humans, and their immediate ancestors. Not gibbons. Evolution– The process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. (really basic, click the link to get more info) The fossil in question was a male hominin found in Ethiopia. There are some claims that this is the oldest known ancestor and well that isn’t true. We can’t say for sure that this is even a direct ancestor of ours. What is a Missing Link? A thing that is needed in order to complete a series, provide continuity, or gain complete knowledge.” they are the missing link between prog rock and punk rock” a hypothetical fossil form intermediate between two living forms, especially between humans and apes. Every fossil we find from pre-human bipedal remains is a missing link. It provides a record of how we as humans possibly evolved. Wait, what? That is right, these fossils are amazing and provide a unique glimpse into the life of our early ancestors or so we believe. Here is the thing, because DNA has such a short half-life there is no way to prove that these particularly ancient hominins are our ancestors. You see now that every piece of the fossil record is important to understanding our past. Each piece gives us a clue to the final puzzle, which to be honest is probably unlikely that we ever truly know. That does not make their discovery any less exciting though. Here is what we do know, they are among the first primates to walk on two feet across great distances. This is both an advantage (carrying things, bigger brain, tool use etc.) it is also a disadvantage too, do your knees and ankles hurt frequently? How about your hips or your back? Our weight and weight distribution put a lot of pressure on certain parts of our body. Especially in the lower back, hips, and knees. That is a lot to ask of any part f the body. These would be parts that traditionally seen in Apes and Great Ape species that would be supported by the arms and shoulders as well. This is because pieces of bone from that long ago are really rare and difficult to find and once we find them they are difficult to classify. This skull though is a very interesting find as it is mostly intact. (which is incredibly rare) Most bones from more than a million years or so ago are usually only fragments of the whole. This was nearly an entire skull, and the skull can tell us so much about how this bi-ped lived. Bipedal, Hominin, Ancient human; I guess I don’t really care too much about how you say it. There is a very rich history dating from several million years ago all the up to when humans first presented themselves in the archaeological record. Here is the abstract from the study, Don’t worry about the big words I promise to break it down for you. The cranial morphology of the earliest known hominins in the genus Australopithecus remains unclear. The oldest species in this genus (Australopithecus Anamensis, specimens of which have been dated to 4.2–3.9 million years ago) is known primarily from jaws and teeth, whereas younger species (dated to 3.5–2.0 million years ago) are typically represented by multiple skulls. Here we describe a nearly complete hominin cranium from Woranso-Mille (Ethiopia) that we date to 3.8 million years ago. We assign this cranium to A.
