Hey @PSU_Anthro @PhysAnth @aaas @FASEBorg @SCGDB1 Tell your early career scholars to apply for this program! Nominate yourself! We’d love to host you to practice your interview skills!

Attention .@AmericanAnthro .@PhysAnth community! SPREAD THE WORD. This is literally the best program pioneered by .@PSU_Anthro. It is great support for early career researchers. The job market is rough & this is a fantastic opportunity. I hope .@PurdueANTH will implement this.

A recently discovered partial hipbone attributed to the 10 million-year-old fossil ape *Rudapithecus hungaricus* from Hungary differs from the hipbones of cercopithecids and earlier apes in functionally significant ways https://t.co/O5qUBI1xr4

For #FossilFriday, here is a new Sivapithecus dental specimen from our ongoing work with colleagues at Ramnagar and a taxonomic revision of all known Ramnagar fossil apes to this point. Stay tuned for new taxa soon! @birenapatel @kpewpew https://t.co/pHfZAkunhi

Strike one for clever Neanderthals:

"Our paper challenges common beliefs that the presence of birch tar in Neanderthal archaeological assemblages means they had sophisticated cognitive abilities."
