Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

22,000-year-old tracks are earliest evidence of transport vehicles. Tracks and footprints found in New Mexico are by far the earliest evidence of people using primitive vehicles to transport things www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone!

If you’re an #Anthropologist, #Archaeologist, #Historian, #Genericist, #STEM or anything related to #SCIENCE, & want to make a difference in the #BLUE kinda way, think you’ll find this page enjoyable, useful, educational, and informative. We must fight for #education & #truth! We must #sticktogether

Humans are in real trouble.

Hey does anyone want to postdoc with me? :)

"results are consistent with other aspects of the H. floresiensis lower limb, such as long feet relative to the femur & a long forefoot relative to the hindfoot, that together suggest an australopith-like locomotor repertoire that included both obligate bipedalism & climbing." #paleoanthropology 🧪🏺

"Findings indicate that lighter pigmentation traits emerged gradually and non-linearly, with dark skin persisting in many populations well into the Copper and Iron Ages." 🧪 #paleoanthropology

An important contribution in HPGG, examining the lasting impact of Luca Cavalli-Sforza on human evolution research. A valuable read for those interested in genetics, archaeology, and paleoanthropology. #HumanEvolution #Genetics #HPGG #OpenAccess

It's Lucy day in Paleoanthropology! #FossilFriday

Did Neanderthals collect fossils for beauty, meaning, or fun? A new study finds 15 marine fossils in a Spanish cave, suggesting early symbolic thought. Could this be the first evidence of prehistoric collecting? #Neanderthals #HumanEvolution #Archaeology #Paleoanthropology

A new study suggests Neanderthals faced a severe genetic bottleneck 130,000 years ago—long before Homo sapiens arrived. Were they already struggling before we ever met them? A fresh look at their decline! 🦴🔬 #Neanderthals #HumanEvolution #Extinction #AncientDNA #Paleoanthropology

Seven years on after I wrote this post, I still wonder: “How many students in paleoanthropology can see casts of Australopithecus afarensis?” The Bone Clones sculpted replicas have their place, of course. But so many legacy fossils are mostly unknown in classrooms. johnhawks.net/weblog/how-m...

It's Paranthropus day in my Paleoanthropology class! #FossilFriday

Our latest: Despite reports to the contrary, the resistance to Donald Trump and his unique brand of dumbfuck fascism is alive and well and angry as hell. While too many elected Democrats have failed to meet the moment, the people are standing up.

I had the pleasure of giving a lecture to the volunteers of the Arizona Museum of Natural History the other week, and it was so much fun! I had so much fun answering questions and talking about #Prehistoric #Art! Please like, and be sure to subscribe for more like this! youtu.be/ZY4EqGDXdwc

Love these photos by @saradiggins.bsky.social from the #SaveTxSchools rally in Austin today. So grateful to everyone fighting for our public schools. Texans, please keep calling your reps and telling them to vote no on vouchers. #txlege

Dr. Raff is an anthropological geneticist known for her research on human population history. Her work is crucial for understanding the ancient migrations that shaped the genetic diversity of the Americas, providing insights into the peopling process and early human adaptation. youtu.be/GaljMG5jK1Y

What do you want to know about #HumanOrigins? The more we know and understand about our past, th better we can understand our current situation, and better prepaqre for a brighter future for our species. It all starts with understanding that we are all #Human.

MUST READ: Donald Trump, Code Name: Krasnov, is a KGB Asset! bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

The world was not, and has never been, a single place; our ancestors had to be incredibly well #adapted in order to survive. Homo #erectus was just that: www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/h... #HumanOrigins #Paleoanthropology #STEM We must adapt to survive the current administration.

This is millions of people. After dutifully paying for my private insurance for a decade, they couldn’t get rid of me fast enough as soon as I really needed them. #MOMSky

A reminder for Republicans.

The richest man on Earth is a narcissist and a ketamine addict who is inflicting his midlife crisis on the U.S. and the world. He's pathetic—and not remotely as smart as he desperately wants you to believe. Good luck watching these cringey highlights from his CPAC appearance. He is higher than a 🪁

#Education and #Science are our best tools against #false #information and #misinformation peddled by the #right. We must #unite. We must stand for #truth, #justice, #temperance, and dare I say - #wisdom. If we want to do more than survive, but to thrive, then we must see these truths as reality.

People arrived in the Americas over 25kya, and have been migrating across the continents ever since. Learn about their history, lives, and journey - as well as how ancient DNA and genomics are involved with modern indigenous cultures. Check out my interview with Dr. Raff! youtu.be/GaljMG5jK1Y

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works
