What the heck are chins for?
A human characteristic that remains an enduring evolutionary enigma.
The history of evolutionary ideas about chins took me to Darwin, Pliny the Elder, Stephen Jay Gould, and Theodore Roosevelt. It's an irresistable subject that has befuddled scientists all this time.

Green and blue 3D rendering of the Taung (Australopithecus africanus) endocast
Check out this new JHE paper coauthored by BHEML member Grace Bocko, which reanalyzes the Taung (A. africanus) brain endocast in comparison with modern chimpanzee and human brains. This paper is another step toward better understanding hominin brain evolution!
