🚨 New paper out!

This work combines 3D geometric morphometrics, multivariate statistics, and machine learning to assess sexual dimorphism in great ape long bones — aiming to classify unsexed skeletal remains and reveal patterns relevant to human evolution.

External Long Bone Morphology as a Tool for Sex Identification in Great Apes: The Case of the Humerus and Femur
Objectives Sexual dimorphism in primates reflects evolutionary, ecological, and social pressures and varies widely across species, complicating its analysis. This study builds on previous research t.....

Thank you, and all the speakers for joining the event! 😍 It was wonderful to have you with us to discuss the challenges and potential solutions in our respective research lines on postcranial anatomy. Looking forward to continuing these discussions in the future! 🤗🦴
This week I had the opportunity to speak about challenges in reconstructing hominin pelvic remains, at the University of Cambridge. This was possible thanks to the organization of an AMAZING workshop by my dear colleagues @juliaramendi.bsky.social and @mikelarlegi.bsky.social
