An amazing excursion at Atapuerca to finish the #ESHE2026. Huge thanks to the local organizers. See you next year in Zurich.

To finish the #ESHE2026 before the General Assembly, Pierre Gousset is presenting his research on phylogeny and postcranial anatomy.

The poster sessions at the #ESHE2026 included many interesting and various research including the one led by Laurent Pallas on femoral morphology and positional modes in Catarrhini.

Many interesting talks and presentations yesterday at the #ESHE2026 including presentations of two of our members. @juliaramendi.bsky.social presented her work on the femur of Little Foot and Tara Chapman presented hers on the reconstruction of Neandertal skeleton.

Some of our members are at the #ESHE2026 in Burgos to present their research. We are looking forward to attending the various presentations 😇 @eshesociety.bsky.social

Two days of productive brainstorming on primate locomotion, morphology and evolution🦴🦧 With colleagues from arround the world 🇪🇺🌍 @cnrsecologie.bsky.social @pacea.bsky.social @museedelhomme.fr @harvatilab.bsky.social @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social @palevoprim.bsky.social And many others

Last week I had the chance to co-organize with my colleagues Jeremy Duveau, Pierre Gousset and Laurent Pallas: Functional Anatomy and Natural History of the Catarrhine Femur 🐒🦍🏃‍♀️ A Workshop in the frame of the @irnbipedalism.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social at the @museedelhomme.fr

How to study fragmentary hominin long bones? #LHOSA team member @juliaramendi.bsky.social shared new approaches at the 'Bipedal Equilibrium' International Research Network workshop in Paris today! @palevoprim.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social

Despite sex-related diff in #allometry of phalanges & meta in #chimp , we observed a canalized autopodial #growth, reduced changes at ~5 years, aligning with #positional shift. Great work by one of my Master students! in collab with JW Young🧪 #cnrs #mnhn #OA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Two days of discussions on femoral anatomy and locomotion in catarrhines at the @museedelhomme.fr. Thank you to all our members present in Paris or online who took part in this workshop. This is just the first step towards further research.

Yet ANOTHER great opportunity at our cluster HUMAN ORIGINS: ❗️ We‘re looking for a Independent Junior Research Group Leader in the field of hominin postcranial evolution ❗️ Apply here till October 15th: uni-tuebingen.de/en/universit... #Paleosky

it was great presenting the @irnbipedalism.bsky.social during the 1st Workshop on AI-Based Humanoid Robot Design and Control Through the Lens of HRI, Evolution, and Biomechanics at @ijcai.org last Sunday!

Interested in foot biomechanics and especially heel pads? We have a 3.5-year PhD studentship open now! Fully funded at UK rates by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and Vivobarefoot ltd.

Did our ancestors simply stand up to become bipeds? Not quite. In this new @theconversation.com, Jérémy Duveau and I explore what recent paleoanthropological discoveries reveal about the evolution of bipedalism 👣🦴 theconversation.com/non-nos-ance... @irnbipedalism.bsky.social @pacea.bsky.social

Non, nos ancêtres ne se sont pas simplement « redressés » : repenser l’évolution vers notre bipédie

Loin de l’image populaire mais fausse d’un grand singe se redressant peu à peu pour devenir bipède, les recherches dévoilent une réalité plus complexe.

Delighted to share my new communication at the @sapanthropologie.bsky.social meeting, in Geneva. What about using so-called "biomechanical" traits for phylogenetic questions in paleoanthropology? @univbordeaux.bsky.social @pacea.bsky.social 🦴☠️🧬🦍 Join us, it's here: www.sapweb.fr/index.php/fr...

For the second day of #JournéesdelaSAP, we woke up with a presentation of @quentin-cosnefroy.bsky.social on the structure of long bones as a taxonomic proxy in paleoanthropology.

For the first day of the #JournéesdelaSAP, @fdruelle.bsky.social presented his work on reconstructing the positional reportoire of fossil hominins.

Some of our members are this week in Geveva for the annual meetings of the @sapanthropologie.bsky.social #JournéesdelaSAP

Did Neandertals choose their prey when practicing cannibalism?🍖 Check out our new study, just published in Scientific Reports - @natureportfolio.nature.com! We provide the strongest evidence to date for a highly selective cannibalism at the end of Neandertal lineage, 41-45.000 years ago. 1/7
