Small clusters of pits in tooth enamel may be traced back to a single evolutionary lineage millions of years ago.

We looked at fossil teeth from hominins (humans and our closest extinct relatives) from the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, where we can see traces of more than two million years of human evolution, as well ...

The enamel that forms the outer layer of our teeth might seem like an unlikely place to find clues about evolution. But it tells us more than you’d think about the relationships between our fossil ...

Some researchers noticed that P. robustus shared features with Australopithecus africanus. In particular, dental traits hinted at overlaps that seemed too close for comfort. Those overlaps eventually ...

Fossil footprints by Australopithecus afarensis - an extinct species of australopithecine which lived from about 3.9–2.9 million years ago in the Pliocene of East Africa. These footprints are not ...

Conversely, Australopithecus sediba displayed slightly less robust but still significant bone thickening in their fifth digit, suggesting varying hand strategies even among closely related species.
