New #OpenAccess article alert!

@paleonicole.bsky.social led this first description of a partial right #Neandertal hipbone from El Sidrón, Spain that expands the range of morphological variation in Neandertals.

Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#Paleoanthropology #TeamPelvis

Manuscript Figure 2: Photographs of the SD-1663 right partial os coxae in different views. A) lateral, B) medial, C) anterolateral focused on the acetabulum, and D) Zoomed in view of the eroded acetabular margin that is also crushed superomedially. The fossil preserves most of the acetabulum, part of the superior pubic ramus, part of the ischial body, and part of the iliac blade. The greater sciatic notch is fully preserved and is a narrow, J-shape.

Well, yes, I led it but TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT! And you know that 💜

Pelvis neandertal El Sidrón SD-1663: rasgos similares con otros neandertales, pero también afinidades con Homo anteriores, como ER 3228 (H. erectus) ➡️ Rango más amplio de variación pélvica dentro de los neandertales de lo que se conocía previamente.

This is a weird request, but anyone in Baltimore area want to help me collect tap water samples this summer? I can give you some vials, you go to a couple restaurants/grocery stores/public water fountains and we get some critical science done for forensic work

Gracias @mcotsar.bsky.social por tu compromiso y por esta oportunidad para visibilizar lo que nadie nombra el #11F. Ayer fue el día en el que las instituciones se limitaron a compartir la foto de investigadoras, “celebrando” no sabemos qué…donde cada vez hay menos espacio para la reivindicación.

Desde la Paradoja de Jevons nos hemos mojado y hemos publicado un artículo crítico para el después del Día de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia. Mucho por hacer. Muchas gracias a todas las investigadoras que han contribuido con sus palabras www.elsaltodiario.com/paradoja-jev...
