The coastal route theory has been around for a long time but researchers are now building a case with hard won geological and archaeological data #IceAgeHumans

Researchers now believe the British Columbia coast may have been an #IceAge highway for ancient peoples migrating south from northeast Russia to the Americas https://theprovince.com/news/local-news/ice-age-highway-first-peoples-may-have-used-the-b-c-coast-as-a-route-south-says-researcher/wcm/ff4a8140-d5ba-4b79-b3b0-a56662690140 … #IceAgeAmericas

Homo naledi , your most recently discovered human relative
By Lisa Hendry
In 2013, a bounty of fossils was discovered deep in a South African cave. They were identified as a new human species with a surprising combination of features.

Human evolution expert Prof Chris Stringer outlines some of the mysteries and contradictions presented by Homo naledi, and the fascinating possibilities it raises.

The discovery of hundreds of Homo naledi fossils was the largest such find ever made on the African continent. The fossils display a unique mix of modern and archaic traits and are shaking up our understanding of the origins and diversity of our human lineage.

Precision or Power? Evidence for Precise Hand Movements in Neanderthals

AAAS—Muscle attachment scars on Neanderthal hands show similarities to the hands of lifelong precision workers, a new study reports. This finding challenges the common belief that Neanderthals relied primarily on force, rather than precision, in their daily activities. The manual activities of Neanderthals are particularly important, as they provide insights into the evolution of tool making and use. Despite work hinting that Neanderthals were anatomically able to perform precision grips using their thumb and index finger like modern humans, there has been no clear evidence that Neanderthals habitually used precise hand movements. New archaeological research on Neanderthal tools, however, such as on bone tools for hide processing, has shown proof of Neanderthal activities that would require fairly high levels of precision;
