In the recent @CurrentBiology article on avian brain evolution led by @KsepkaLab, our team contributed 11 skull/endocast images to Figure 1. Here they all are, plus four extras—all to the same scale. Endocast credits in the reply. Here's the article: cell.com/current-biolog…

Our new paper is out!🐒🔊 Studying two wild chimpanzee populations, we found they flexibly adjust pant hoot acoustics to context (feed vs. travel). Most patterns are shared, but some community differences may suggest a small role for vocal usage learning. doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe…

I'm tutoring biological anthropology in this massive( ~300 students) interdisciplinary course. Let's go!!💀🐒🗿🏰🌋 @ANU_BioAnth @ArchAnthANU

Evolutionary changes in hominin social complexity have been associated with increases in absolute brain size. The main aim of this study is to determine where along the hominid phylogeny, major temporal lobe size transitions occurred #AJBA click to read: doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2…

In a first-of-its-kind ANU study, SoAA PhD scholar @PalaeoNeuro used CT scans to compare 3D virtual skulls of several of our earliest ancestors, as well as all living species of great apes 📷 This new study appeared in @AmJBioAnth 📖 👏quicklink.anu.edu.au/5zcu

Thrilled to feature in an article by @ANUmedia in the ANU Reporter on collaborative research with @abalzeau on accuracy in endocasts! @ANU_BioAnth @ArchAnthANU #Neuroscience #paleoanthropology #humananatomy #endocasts #Evolution #paleoneurology

very much worth a read...

Every voice matters, no matter how big or small ❤️

@ZCofran @vitruvianpan @abalzeau @HGarvin_FA @LeeRberger @johnhawks Nice work! Looks great

I’ve enjoyed tutoring this semester with @BioanthBehie & @Cynthia121p in “Anthropology of Environmental Disasters” @ArchAnthANU #bioanthropology #environment #anthropology #primatology #climatechange

@johnhawks @vitruvianpan @abalzeau Great stuff!

Really pleased to see this project on the endocast form of the LES1 (Neo) skull now published. Great work by @vitruvianpan @abalzeau and many others. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/G…

Looking forward to giving a lecture & tutorials this week! @ANU_BioAnth @ArchAnthANU #primatology #ecology #bioanthropology #naturaldisasters #humanculture #anthropology

Excited to be tutoring this semester in “Anthropology of Environmental Disasters” with a great lecturing & convening team! @Cynthia121p & @BioanthBehie @ArchAnthANU #anthropology #bioanthropology #environment #naturaldisasters #ecology #health #biodiversity #ClimateCrisis

50 Years of @ArchAnthANU & excited to present on my PhD research for innovative methods 💀🧠🐒🩻💻 #SkullandBrain #paleoneurology #primates #neuroanatomy #paleoanthropology #evolution #bioanthropology #Archaeology #anthropology #VirtualAnatomy

So incredibly relieved and proud to announce that our BIG (in all senses) Gigantopithecus blacki paper has finally landed!! Massive shout out to all GIGANTONAUTS -thank you to everyone of you - please feel free to download its available for everyone nature.com/articles/s4158…

@lumilicious Exciting!!!!

Thrilled to chat to @thewireradio about my old world monkey evolution research! @ArchAnthANU @ANUmedia #SkullandBrain #evolution #primates #neuroanatomy #conservation
