Congratulations to Justin Pargeter and Guilhem Mauran on receiving a research grant from the @PASTEvolve Foundation to support two southern African master students, Malesetla Sepamo and Petrus Tangeni, who will work on ochre collections from Boomplaas Cave!

Congrats to Adela Cebeiro (@AdelaCebeiro) on winning a GSAS Predoctoral Summer Fellowship for summer research on tool use in robust capuchins!

Congrats to Alex Gregory on winning a Robert Holmes Travel/Research Award for African Scholarship for summer research on the effects that aquatic resources played on hunter-gatherer technologies during the Late Holocene in southern Africa!

❄️Curious about the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and its impact on southern Africa's climates, environments, and human evolution? Our new #Quaternary Science Reviews paper (https://t.co/pyWKRFiUxA) sheds light on this icy chapter at #Boomplaas Cave

Did Neanderthals use glue? @nyuanthro and @uni_tue researchers found evidence of a multi-component adhesive in stone tools that suggests a higher level of cognition and cultural development than previously thought.

@AfricanPaleosc1 ARISE summer high school interns turning up the heat with their presentations on silcrete heat treatment at the @AMNH. Excellent guidance and mentoring from @AdelaCebeiro. @CSHO_NYU @nyuanthro

[Adela Cebeiro @AdelaCebeiro]

I love the opportunity to work with them, they are such great students! Looking at archaeology through their eyes is an amazing experience!

Our new paper shows how neuroplasticity enables bio‑cultural feedback in Paleolithic stone‑tool making (https://t.co/afkMze3z4K). Results show that technical skill acquisition can produce structural brain changes conducive to the discovery and acquisition of additional skills.

CSHO faculty Shara Bailey is part of the research team that published in Science on the oldest Oldowan tools found at a site called Nyayanga, Kenya. They were associated with Paranthropus teeth, suggesting that Paranthropus potentially used them: https://t.co/NOBnl8888R

Fully funded opportunity to excavate at Boomplaas Cave and across several sites in Malawi through the Human Origins Migration and Evolution (HOMER) research group. May-July 2023. More info here: https://t.co/6W4n0iNBr0

Kudos to MS alum Lauren Petrullo (‘15) on her new paper in Science!

How do individual differences in strength, accuracy & cognition impact knapping skill acquisition in different information transmission conditions? In a new study, we trained 23 individuals for 2 hours to knap by observation only/direct active teaching.

As promised, a thread of photos and fun facts about the incredible drill monkey (Mandrillus leucophaeus) that I have the privilege of researching. All photos are mine. #scicomm (1/11)

Join us tonight at 5pm! Joan Silk from ASU is giving a CSHO lecture: "Reproductive tradeoffs for male baboons: competing vs caring"

Discovery of earliest gibbon fossil & @CSHO_NYU analysis fills long-elusive gap in apes' evolutionary history.
