Hot off the press! We’re excited to introduce a new plesiadapiform species – Purgatorius mckeeveri – and the earliest dated occurrences of archaic primates 🐒 in the fossil record – as part of our collaborative research published today @RSocPublishing! royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

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

NEW in the Contributions of the UMMP: "Phylogeny and Evolution of North American Nothartcinae (Mammalia, Primates) in the early Eocene of Wyoming," in which Philip Gingerich suggests notharctine diversity paralleled warming and cooling during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum.

It was really great talking with Senator Schumer @SenSchumer on Friday! We discussed the @BklynCollege411 Tow Mentoring & Research Program and our @NSF funded research on primate origins, the K/Pg mass extinction, and global warming!
It was our pleasure to welcome Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer @senschumer to campus on Friday.
