  1. #Lucy is one of the most famous fossils in #paleoanthropology. Discovered in 1974 in #Ethiopia, she is a partial skeleton of an early #hominin species, #Australopithecus afarensis, dating back around 3.2 million years. Her anatomy reveals a mix of ape-and human-like traits, providing crucial insights into the evolutionary path that led to modern #humans. I was lucky enough to see her replica at the #SenckenbergMuseum in #Frankfurt:

  7. @tksst It's about a very interesting scientific #study about the #reconstruction of the #face of an #Australopithecus #fossil from South Africa, in scientific literature sometimes referred as A. #prometheus, the trivial name is "#littlefoot" (#StW573). The damaged, but preserved #skull was studied via #synchrotronXray imaging in order to carefully reconstruct bone fractions digitally. Study by A. BEAUDET et al. (2026).

  12. 🦴💻 For years, the skull of the famous "Little Foot" #skeleton remained distorted and crushed by time. Now, using advanced X-ray imaging, researchers digitally reassembled the fragments to show what this #Australopithecus individual looked like.

    Lead researcher Dr. Amélie Beaudet says the results are challenging what we know about how our ancestors moved across the African landscape.

  22. Scientists just digitally reconstructed the face of Little Foot, a 3.67-million-year-old Australopithecus from South Africa. The result looks more like East African fossils than local ones. Migration? Ancestral pattern? Still open. #Paleoanthropology #Australopithecus #HumanEvolution anthropology.net/p/little-foot

  27. New fossil evidence suggests that “Lucy” may not have been our direct human ancestor after all

    For decades, the 3.2-million-year-old fossil called “Lucy” has been a centerpiece in stories about human origins. A member of the species Australopithecus afarensis, Lucy was long presented as the most plausible direct ancestor of later humans...

  32. Little Foot, the most complete australopith skeleton ever found, may belong to neither Australopithecus africanus nor A. prometheus.

  37. Ancient foot fossil finally identified as an enigmatic hominin species that lived alongside Lucy in Ethiopia

    Scientists have solved a mystery concerning an unusual 3.4 million-year-old foot fossil from Ethiopia: it indeed comes from Australopithecus deyiremeda, a close but distinct relative of Lucy and her species, Australopithecus afarensis...
