🚨New paper reviewing the early archaeological record & potential tool users ✅ My conclusion: tool technology is yet another adaptive milestone in human evolution that emerged over time across multiple taxa rather than as a species-specific breakthrough shorturl.at/c3LrR

Back to Armenia, back to Dalarik-1 Cave, with a large international team from Armenia, Spain, Israel, Greece, France, Portugal, Italy & beyond! Let the excavation of this unique Middle Pleistocene site start! 🎉 #TransCause HumEnDyLAB

Hominin fossils from the Ledi-Geraru Research Project area, Ethiopia, suggest that early Homo and Australopithecus species co-existed in the region more than 2.5 million years ago, according to a paper published in nature. go.nature.com/4mThYlF

The first week of excavations and stratigraphic documentation at Dalarik-1 Cave was very successful! The trip to Kalavan village - and the homonymous Palaeolithic sites - was the best treat for a day-off! A stop at Gutanasar volcano was a must! HumEnDyLAB #TransCause
