Hi paleo/bio anth folks - can anyone help aspiring paleoanthropologist and current undergrad @anita_patane with sources of photos of hominin ankle (talus and calcaneus) fossils for her @UNCO_McNair project + honors senior capstone thesis?
Hi friends, I’m a senior from the Univ. of Northern Colorado looking for varied angles of A. afarensis, A. africanus and H. habilis’ foot fossils, particularly the talus and calcaneus for a geometric morphometric project! If anyone has sources, I’d really appreciate it. 1/2

RIP Bill Jungers. I was fortunate to do a postdoc in Bill's lab at Stony Brook University, working on Homo floresiensis fossils. He was as kind a mentor & friend as he was a collosal expert in the functional anatomy of primates from "hobbits" to lemurs. youtu.be/T46DjU8keYs

New research describes and illustrates the anatomy of the ear region in Philippine flying lemur, based on CT scans. Unique ear features shed light on cranial anatomy of Dermoptera, which is believed to be the sister group of Primates. New study by J Wible doi.org/10.1002/ar.25174
