A full-circle moment from May! 🥹 It was a pleasure to return to the #Geology Department at AUTH (Greece), where I earned my bachelor's degree, to give a few guest lectures.✨️Standing in the same classroom where I once sat as a student, but on the other side this time, was a pretty special feeling. 🤩

Excited to share this new #OpenAccess pub. It completely overturns our understanding of...nothing. It won't be in your newsfeed. Sometimes #science advances by basic, gut-it-out research. Would love comments about our approach to fossil alpha-taxonomy. paleoanthropology.org/ojs/index.ph...

#PrimatePost 🦧🤔 Humans are the only #primates with a chin! In humans, the anterior part of the mandible (symphysis) protrudes forward, in line with the face, 💀 flatter than in other species. 🧪 #science 🏺 #BioAnth #anatomy #primatology 📷 from Kaiwei Zhang
From left to right, the skulls of a gorilla, chimpanzee and human, drawn in a pencil-like style. The himan shows a flatter face than the other apes. The chin is protruding forward in humans and backward in apes.
