Pretty entertained that this out-of-focus picture taken on my phone by our colleague and co-author Omar Abdullah on the day of discovery is such a striking image for our new study out in Nature this week.

This is super cool. New paper: "New discoveries of Australopithecus and Homo from Ledi-Geraru, Ethiopia," phys.org/news/2025-08... 🧪🏺

New discoveries of #Australopithecus and #Homo from #Ledi-Geraru, Ethiopia 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

After a decade of research the scientists describe the age, geological context, and dental morphology of new hominin fossils found in the Ledi-Geraru, Ethiopia. They report the presence of Homo at 2.78 and 2.59 million years ago and Australopithecus at 2.63 million years ago. @nature.com

Wrote this out today: Fossil teeth reveal a previously unknown human ancestor from eastern Africa | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

Lets go??? New Australopith contemporaneous with Homo at Ledi-Geraru that IS NOT Au. afarensis or Au. garhi?? (Probably) Vid soon! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

that's right
