New paper! Now leaving little doubt that Yunxian are, as was originally assumed, H. erectus, NOT Denisovans or part of a recent Homo sapiens clade to the exclusion of Neanderthals etc.

{NEW PAPER ALERT!!🚨} Here’s the latest on the Yunxian site in China… 🤙🤙 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🚨 Job alert! The University of Tübingen announces a W3 (Full) Professorship in Early Hominin Evolution in the framework of the DFG Cluster of Excellence 'HUMAN ORIGINS': uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet... Application deadline: 11.03.2026 🚨

The Balkans is an important region as hominins likely moved through the region to get to western Europe!! 🤙🤙

TODAY: Paleoanthropologist Mirjana Roksandic returns to Evolution Soup YouTube channel to reveal hominid secrets of the Balkans. @paleobae.bsky.social #evolutionsoup #evolution #paleoanthropology #science #fossils #Balkans

{NEW PAPER ALERT!! 🚨} New dating analysis from the uber important Xujiayao site (~228 ka - ~138 ka), clearly not from the middle Chibanian or the Late Pleistocene. 🤙🤙 DM me for a copy or request through Researchgate.

[new paper alert!!]. Taking another look at the traditional Out of Africa I model… 😎😎 @courtneymanthey.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

And check out the Chibanian puzzle SI in there too!! 😎😎 @mroksand.bsky.social

Thanks Mike!! 🙏🙏

This just out in NewScientist. It includes various discussions around bodoensis, juluensis and everything Chibanian… (had no idea they were going to draw my pic for the piece!! 😂😂). www.newscientist.com/article/2500...

'Excavated with colonial labor and shipped to the Netherlands, the famous fossil is being repatriated to Indonesia along with 28,000 other fossils.' 🏺

"But now, as an anthropologically-trained primatologist, I see this story through a different lens. What was apparent watching the documentary was that this compelling narrative is rooted in colonialism and neo-colonialism." Please, read this amazing essay.

📢The Student Webinar Series is back! Join Courtney Callidora Manthey and Madison Honig as they kick off the season with Dr. Christopher Bae (University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa) for a conversation on publishing as a grad student. Don’t miss this great start to the series! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHmE...

Highly recommended!! 👍👍

Here’s a cool take on the Asian Middle Pleistocene hominins that appeared in Discover Magazine. Homo juluensis is alive and kicking… 💪💪 www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences...

In situ (splash-form) tektites from the Middle Pleistocene laterite deposits in Bose Basin, south China www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

[new paper alert]. This student led paper is really cool. Hopefully, it closes the lid on arguments that the Australasian tektites cannot be used to date the Bose handaxes. 💪💪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Here’s the latest on the Chinese “Muddle in the Middle”. My recent conversation with Stefan Milo. Hopefully bringing some clarity to an increasingly complex record. 😎😎 youtu.be/Hm4EKHEHu_Y?...

New Sausage of Science! Chris Lynn @christopherdlynn.bsky.social and Courtney Manthey @courtneymanthey.bsky.social chat with Dr. Christopher Bae @paleobae.bsky.social, a distinguished paleoanthropologist from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa whose research focuses on human evolution in East Asia.

Awesome synthesis of how the name Homo bodoensis came about. Nice job. 👏👏👏

The classic rendering of the obstetric dilemma hypothesis is that the size & shape of the human pelvis has been constrained by its restructuring for bipedal locomotion, making birth difficult. Nice discussion on the topic with CU Denver's Dr. Anna Warrener. #paleoanthropology #humanevolution

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

KHON2 (local Hawaii news) picked up Homo juluensis today… 😎😎 youtu.be/3Q1RJAnlkmI?...

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.

Science reporting on the mass resignation of the editorial board of the Journal of Human Evolution, highlighting some of the problems with commercial scientific publishing. OA PaleoAnthropology journal (www.paleoanthropology.org) highlighted among JHE's successors #openaccess #humanevolution
