66 million years ago, an asteroid impact wiped out nearly 75% of life on Earth, including the non-avian dinosaurs. But a new paper finds that flowering plants weathered the cataclysmic close of the Mesozoic surprisingly well🌸☄️ My latest for @NYTScience: nytimes.com/2023/09/12/scien…

Wiping Out the Dinosaurs Let Countless Flowers Bloom (Published 2023)

While the extinction affected some flower species, most lineages survived and the catastrophe may have helped them become a dominant form of plant life.

Early break-up of eastern African forests shaped our ape ancestors

Forests in eastern Africa started turning into grassland 10 million years earlier than previously thought, which may have driven the evolution of upright apes

Contrary to the idea that apes evolved their upright posture to reach for fruit in the forest canopy, the earliest known ape with this stature, Morotopithecus, lived in more open grassy environments.

Corbin made the most beautiful illustration of Morotopithecus and the vegetation of the early Miocene! He was terrific to work with and his painting really helps bring the landscape to life. #fossilfriday

Popular pieces highlighting our new collaborative work on African C4 grasses, vegetation change, and ape evolution in @ScienceMagazine: 🌾 washington.edu/news/2023/04/… theconversation.com/wooded-g…

Africa’s grassy habitats emerged 10 million years earlier than previously thought

A pair of studies published April 14 in the journal Science paint a new picture about apes, ancient Africa and the origins of humans. Many scientists had once hypothesized that the first apes to...
