Wednesday Nite @ The Lab

With the discovery of Homo naledi, paleoanthropologists are reevaluating what distinguishes the earliest members of our own genus from those who came before. Gurtov uses both behavior & morphology in examining the hominin fossil record of Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, to explore the foraging adaptations of some of the earliest human meat-eaters in Pleistocene East Africa. Informing this research are the adaptations of Homo naledi, which show us that there are many ways to belong to the genus Homo.
