1/9🚨 New paper out now, open access in JHE 🚨 Can a single isolated arm or leg bone tell you what species it belonged to? This study tests this across all extant great apes — with real consequences for how we identify fossil hominins. sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧵👇

Functional constraints mask species-level signals in hominid limbs: Long bone morphology and the challenge of taxonomic identification

Species boundaries are central to evolutionary biology, yet the reliability of skeletal morphology, particularly isolated postcranial elements, for di…
