We have an open Master thesis project on locomotor efficiency and pelvic shape @evmed_ch @UZH_ch For more details, please refer to the link: https://t.co/vEo8JEoniq

📢 Call for Papers! Anatomical Record Special Issue: Evolution of Birth Difficulties ✨ Focus: Obstetrical dilemma, pelvic anatomy, neonatal & primate adaptations 📅 LOI: Sept 1 | 📝 Manuscript: Dec 1 Guest Editors @PaleoNicole & @cedric_pp https://t.co/WqziJte9Os

🧵 1/2 PhD Opportunity! Join my new HEAR lab @UZH_en (Sept 2025) to research hominin hearing evolution. 4yr contract, SNSF funded. Focus: cochlear anatomy, computational modeling, fossil hearing.

Excellent symposium today at AABA "Evolution of birth difficulties: Interdisciplinary approaches to the 'obstetrical dilemma' ". Keep an eye out for the resulting AR Special Issue!

Check out our latest paper on chimpanzee birth that shows us how great apes can help shed light on the evolution of our own complex birth mechanism 🐵 https://t.co/0wwmVfvEl6

Petra G. Šimková defending her PhD thesis about morphological variation and covariation in the human postcanine dentition! @HeasVienna

Our EEA (Environment of Evolutionary Adaptiveness) differs a lot from our current environment. Evolution causes adaptive changes, but is constantly 'catching up' to environmental changes - hence the idea that many mental health issues arise through this 'mismatch' to modernity

Does the brain change during pregnancy? You bet it does. How about doing 26 MRI scans on a single person pre-conception to 2 years post-partum. WOW! Laura Pritschet and colleagues nailed it with their new paper in @NatureNeuro. Key Points: - The authors point out that pregnancy

Thanks to #ESHE2024 to give me the chance of providing new insights on Neandertsal semicircular canal evolution! And thanks to all the colleagues at @BOtoacustica for the great support! Keep it going with more #bonylabyrinths research!

Thank you @SvantePaabo for tonight's amazing keynote lecture! #ESHE2024 #ArchaicGenomics

Revising the cephalopelvic fit in primates by @LiaBetti - new data, new models (emphasis on “face first” birth in non-human primates) humans NOT unique at having a tight fit!! Apes off ones out at loose fit 😁 #ESHE2024

@clementzanolli on wether #naledi is a relict australopithecine. Basics: >1680 fossils, 139-148 cm tall, 33-43 kg, 465-610 cc. Multiple GMM analyses - post & sag profile, prognathism, max shape, EDJ shape (& other!): closest PARANTHROPUS 😳 #ESHE2024

Great presentation by Larissa Bartsch from @univienna presenting the exciting ZooMS work on sediment block impregnated bone from several sites in Georgia and S Africa. @StahlschmidtC @Katerina__Douka #eshe2024 ⁦⁦@ESHE_society⁩

First #ESHE2024 talk by Philipp Gunz on #floresiensis endocast. Fab new datasets & methods: LB1 #LunateSulcus & #BrocasArea NOT derived… in fact, more primitive than Homo erectus. LB1 not ab island dwarf #Herectus

Clément Zanolli at #ESHE2024 reporting on analyses whether Homo naledi could represent relict australopithecines - this will surely interest many people & ruffle some feathers. His conclusion: they might fit better with Paranthropus and Australopithecus! #anthropology #evolution

Martin Haeusler on WT 15000 -major discrepancies in body size estmations (from 141-164 cm!)- whole body size by team: 153-154 cm; no major paths except L4/L5 trauma/hernia (the boy had sciatica 😞); axial skel- 9.4 yr-old, femur length - 14.8 yr-old. Discussion of heterochrony 😊
