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 ππ

slowly but surely pumping out the chapters from my dissertation.... βοΈ
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!

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
