Thrilled to join @palevoprim.bsky.social with @fondationfyssen.bsky.social to continue my "healthy" obsession with early hominin brains with Franck Guy and @ameliebeaudet.bsky.social. Thanks for the warm welcome!
NEW When #Neanderthal remains were discovered in Shanidar Cave, Iraqi Kurdistan, the fragile and crushed condition of the bones prevented detailed analysis.
A year of conservation work helps explore the complex mortuary practices observed at the site.

Also this month, Manson and @nathanj.bsky.social used finite element modelling informed by neonatal MRI data, to test whether simple mechanical deformation from brain and masticatory muscle growth can predict early cranial shape change, focusing on the basicranium and face doi.org/10.1111/joa....
