Anthropology Lecturer Kelsey Pugh (@kpewpew) was the lead author of a study, with @amnh and @icp_mcrusafont scientists, that reconstructed the well-preserved but damaged skull of a great ape species that lived about 12 million years ago.

Scientists using advanced X-ray imaging technology have reconstructed the face of a 12 million-year-old great ape, opening a window into a critical moment in primate evolution that may reveal important clues about our own origins.

Found in a Spanish landfill, the fossils of the extinct species Pierolapithecus catalaunicus may reveal important clues about our origins.

The recent reconstruction study of the Pierolapithecus face by our team (@kpewpew et al. 2023 PNAS) appears featured today in the Washington Post. https://t.co/0nbEBFcI3i

Our recent paper on the reconstruction of Pierolapithecus and the evolution of great ape facial morphology was covered today in The Washington Post—check it out! 🦍 💀 🦧

The Pugh et al. 2023 PNAS study is loaded with goodies: 1- All data used is available in the Supporting Information. 2- The 3D reconstruction of the Pierolapithecus face (and all its parts) can be openly downloaded from MorphoSource. 3D print time!💀 https://t.co/DQAouLZKU7

Great new paper on the newly reconstructed Pierolapithecus face! Confirms likely stem hominid status for Pierolapithecus and provides implications for the ancestral great ape morphotype. Congrats @kpewpew @AlmecijaSergio @ashleyshammond and coauthors!! https://t.co/fvoUkUXUB8

Today, we published a paper I am very proud of…Steve Frost, Hailay Reda, Frances White and I revise the estimated ages of many famous South African hominin sites based on monkey Biochronology. Let me explain…A THREAD 1/15.

The Biological Anthropology Lab reunites in Spain! The labbies have been hard at work digging the Miocene in some pretty intense heat. @amnh @RGGSatAMNH @CazenaveMarine1 @Osteoficionado @kpewpew @AlmecijaSergio

Fossil apes, particularly species dating to the Late Miocene, are integral for evaluating the phylogenetic positions of the earliest purported hominins, as they can better inform interpretations of character evolution and morphocline polarities in hominin evolution @kpewpew

Check out this @newscientist write up of my new JHE paper on the phylogenetic relationships of mid-late Miocene apes 🦍 🦧
Nice New Scientist write up of K. Pugh's @Kpewpew excellent analysis of mid-late Miocene apes in JHE!!

I’ve never met this sister, Dr. Lisa Jones, but the solidarity shown me by Black women in particular during this crucible is something I will never forget.

Early hominins likely originated in Africa from a Miocene LCA that does not match any living ape - fossil apes remain essential to reconstruct the “starting point” from which humans and chimpanzees evolved https://t.co/PJC2BjjrKK
