Why Africans should be telling the story of human origins

Why Africans should be telling the story of human origins

Nature - Yohannes Haile-Selassie wants to shift the trajectory of palaeoanthropology in fossil-rich Ethiopia away from its long colonial heritage.

Human ancestor Lucy still has secrets 50 years after discovery

Human ancestor Lucy still has secrets 50 years after discovery

She was, for a while, the oldest known member of the human family. Fifty years after the discovery of Lucy in Ethiopia, the remarkable remains continue to yield theories and questions.

In my paper out today, coauthor Bernard Wood and I explore the potential impacts of a spatially limited fossil record on understanding human evolution. We do this using two "thought experiments", focusing on the Eastern African Rift Valley. (1/4)

A new trick for slowing deforestation might just be the oldest one in the book: reverence. Some 35,000 churches of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church steward country’s last remaining old-growth forests, which appear as circular oases scattered throughout the northern region.

Incredibly excited and honored to have been awarded a dissertation fieldwork grant from @TheLeakeyFndtn which will support my research mapping the pattern of hominin activities at Olduvai Gorge! It's going to be a great summer!! – at Colorado, USA

I’m helping to organize a conference, and multiple presenters have said their department/institution may not or definitely will not support them to travel to a conference if they are “only” presenting a poster, not a podium talk. Can we change this policy? #Academia
