Remember Australopithecus sediba? The convention-challenging South African hominin, announced with much fanfare in 2010, has gotten lost in a torrent of other recent fossil finds from our family tree.

The discovery of two-million-year-old fossil vertebrae from Australopithecus sediba, an ancient human relative, shows that early hominins walked like humans but climbed like apes. Scientists say the ...

В последние несколько месяцев палеонтология стала одной из главных тем научных сообщений, потеснив традиционные космические новости.

An international team of scientists has discovered a two-million-year-old fossil vertebrae from an extinct species of ancient human relative. New lower back fossils are the "missing link" that settles ...

An ancient human relative was able to walk the ground on two legs and use their upper limbs to climb and swing like apes, according to a new study of 2 million-year-old vertebrae fossils. An ...

Spinal bones of an extinct human relative have been found in lumps of rock blasted out of a South African cave and used to reconstruct one of the most complete back fossils of any hominin. The spine ...

Few nine-year-old children ever encounter scientific discoveries; however, Matthew Berger came across one of his own. It happened in August 2008 when he discovered a clavicle at Malapa, a fossil-rich ...

Two-million-year-old Australopithecus sediba's awkward strut would eventually send a modern man begging for a knee or hip replacement, but scientists are stunned at how evolution equipped her for both ...

When studying how fossil hominids moved, researchers usually analyze the morphology of bones—which is crucial for understanding the evolution of bipedalism—focusing mainly on muscle insertion sites.
