Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Sie ist überall: die Rede vom #Spitzenforscher. Nur: Was soll das überhaupt sein? Über einen Begriff, der das Gros der Wissenschaftler_innen als zweitklassig degradiert & einem Geniekult zuarbeitet, der der Arbeitsrealität in der Wissenschaft weder angemessen noch zuträglich ist. ⬇️ #ArbeitInDerWiss

Are you a forensic anthropologist or other biological anthropologist who considers skeletal trauma interpretation part of your skill set? We are running a study (survey, ~15 min) on how practitioners interpret skeletal trauma. It's kinda fun to do! Sharing this with others is much appreciated 🤩

#NextGenSci asked young scientists to write a rule that all principal investigators should be required to follow to improve the experience of young scientists in their lab. Check out their answers on #NationalHigherEducationDay: scim.ag/45zsFEr

🚨NEW PAPER from the @eegcam.bsky.social!🚨I have never been as proud of something as of the work that finally we can share today: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - we show how a climatically driven Pan African meta population model explains our species genetic and morphological diversity 🧬💀

Interested in investigating human history? Still a chance to join us in Uppsala as a junior or senior fellow! Closing date soon!

A great success for archaeology and human origins research in Germany 🥳 Two clusters of excellence to be funded for (another) 7 years. Congratulations to @clusterroots.bsky.social, @uni-kiel.de, @unituebingen.bsky.social, @harvatilab.bsky.social, @marlenfroehlich.bsky.social @ctennie.bsky.social!

Thank you so much for the invitation! #HumanEvo25

@judithbeier.bsky.social Judith presents a new method using GLMs to estimate cranial trauma prevalence in N. and H.s. Results overturn long held misconceptions that N. had sig. higher rates of trauma when compared to H.s 💀 Ev. suggests a relationship with age, revealing social diff. #HumanEvo25

Jerome Isle de Beauchaine: morphological reanalysis of the Aurignacian mandible from George-Des-Rois, France. Results suggest the mandible is consistent with modern human variability but there is much more variability in fossil modern humans than previously thought 🦷 #HumanEvo25

Exciting talk by @romangarba.bsky.social on cosmogenic nuclides for dating prehistoric sites - fabulous work at #Korolevo (western #Ukraine) and East-to-West dispersal into Europe 1.5-1.3 million years ago. Huge potential for new and old excavations 🤩🤩

Applying a new / adapted method Pheno-ABC to dental phenotypes to answer questions of prehistoric population dynamics by @hannesrathmann.bsky.social 🥰 #HumanEvo25

Happy to share my latest work with archaeologist @manuelwill.bsky.social on lithic flake variability at the Middle Stone Age site of Sibhudu, South Africa. As a bioanthropologist, this was my first non-bone paper, and I loved the interdisciplinary journey! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New publication on probable facial piercings ("labrets") in the Mid Upper Paleolithic of Central Europe. Really happy to finally see this in print: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
