A close friend for chimps, an inspiration for humans. All primates just lost a friend. Goodbye Jane.

Just found out I didn’t get another grant I applied for. Disappointed, but still motivated to keep pushing forward. If anyone knows of opportunities (grants, contracts, collaborations, preferably in Portugal/Spain), I’d be very grateful for any leads. #Funding #Research

Is femoral anteversion human-specific & related to bip?
2 methods to measure anteversion angle; excluding fem head critical to show human-ape diffs (fem head adds noise for being unique in humans) !

Differences in femoral morphology observed between adults Neandertals and Homo sapiens are already present at birth.

What if these "plastic" postcranial traits are in fact also inherited?

It is with deep sadness that the SAP announces the passing of Jaroslav Brůžek, Professor at the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague and Emeritus Research Director at the CNRS.

The scientific community has lost a pillar; the SAP has lost a dear friend.
