New fossils reveal the hand of Paranthropus boisei - Nature
Analyses of newly discovered hand and foot bones of a Paranthropus boisei specimen provide insight into possible tool use and other palaeobiology characteristics among Plio-Pleistocene hominin species...
Paranthropus boisei is a human fossil cousin w/ giant jaws and teeth that lived in East Africa ~2.6 to 1.3 million years ago. Whether it could make & use tools has been a paleoanthropological mystery since the 1960s. Our new paper describes the first firmly associated hand and foot. 1/

Jaroslav Brůžek at the SAP conference
It is with deep sadness that the SAP announces the passing of Jaroslav Brůžek, Professor at the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague and Emeritus Research Director at the CNRS.
The scientific community has lost a pillar; the SAP has lost a dear friend.

📣 L’archéologie préventive sacrifiée au nom de l’agriculture intensive
Le mardi 8 juillet, l’Assemblée nationale n’a pas pris en compte l’amendement n°2243 de la loi Duplomb, qui visait à exclure l’archéologie préventive du régime contentieux dérogatoire de la nouvelle loi d’orientation agricole.

Dr. Emma Bird, in a floral dress and orange cardigan, stands smiling beside a projected slide in a classroom. The slide shows a stone tool and a skeletal hand with the caption “3 million years…”. The room has a laptop connected to a projector, chairs, and archaeological displays in the background.
