Different ways of ‘getting a grip’. How ancient human relatives in South Africa used their #hands reveals varying levels of dexterity & climbing ability. Study @ScienceAdvances led by @Samar__Syeda & Tracy Kivell. #hominins @AMNH tinyurl.com/mwk5eb63 & doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adt12…
Excited for our work exploring behavioural diversity in South African hominins to be out today!

Thrilled to announce our new paper on the evolution of the human inner ear otolithic system!
We find evolutionary divergences of the otolithic inner ear in humans and apes, with possible links to the evolution of postural behavior 👇👇

slowly but surely pumping out the chapters from my dissertation.... ⭐️
in our new study featured on the cover of @J_Exp_Biol 's latest issue, we discover that climbing force profiles are remarkably stereotyped across humans regardless of experience!

Special issue of American Journal of Biological Anthropology in honor of Professor Mary Marzke, co-edited by Tracy Kivell, Matt Tocheri, and me is out w/ 15 papers inspired by Mary's pioneering efforts in primate functional anatomy with emphasis on the evolution of the hand. 1/n
ALT Cover of the March 2024 issue of the American Journal of Biological Anthropology. A special issue in honor of the life and scientific contributions of Professor Mary Marzke. Image features 3D renderings of primate hands in ulnar deviation produced by CT scanning (from Orr et al., 2024).

Our paper on dental morphology in Homo habilis is out in @NatureComms! We looked at the internal structure of H. habilis teeth, and found that most, including OH 7, are remarkably similar to Australopithecus @MPI_EVA_Leipzig

I passed my viva yesterday!! 🥳
Possibly one of the most enjoyable days of my academic journey. Grateful for my upper isles and the supportive lab group they’ve fostered over the years!! 🥰🥰

I collaborated w/ orthopedic colleagues at CU School of Medicine to provide CT scans of flat-footed individuals to better understand variation in hominin navicular morphology & evolution of the longitudinal arch for this new paper led by Rita Sorrentino.

(1/5) Excited to share our new insights into primate shoulder range-of-motion (ROM), now available #OpenAccess in #ProcB! @nate_m_young @RainbowBiomech
We introduce an in silico model to explore the relationship among morphology, ROM, and behaviour
