#Australopithecus sediba

[cmaidaartworkblog]

Some hominids-in-progress I've had on lately: a Neanderthal shifting her weight in preparation to throw a spear, some improvements I made to the meshes and textures for my A. sediba and P. boisei skins, and skins I still have to texture for H. naledi and H. heidelbergensis Digital painting (Photopea, first image), Digital sculpture (Blender, last three images), 2024

Quién sabe qué pensaban nuestros ancestros, pero seguramente no se trataba de viajes espaciales. ¡De la antigua Tierra a la inmensidad del espacio! Los fósiles de dos ancestros humanos antiguos hicieron historia a bordo del VSS Unity de Virgin Galactic.

Developments in Paleoanthropology

From the Journal of Creation: This paper continues the theme begun in 2021 of discussing some of the fossil finds and/or developments in paleoanthropology from a creationist perspective.

This includes the naming of a new species, Homo bodoensis, as well as the discovery of a juvenile skull, attributed to Homo naledi, from the Rising Star cave system of South Africa.

New fossil pieces from the lower back of Australopithecus sediba are also discussed, as is a new study on fossil footprints from Laetoli Site A, Tanzania. Lastly, the Omo fossils and their redating are examined.

Let's focus on the first for now, i.e. Homo bodoensis: ▶️ The new species Homo bodoensis was named to help resolve 'the muddle in the middle' which refers to the poorly understood human evolution during the supposed Middle Pleistocene. The species is argued to eventually give rise to Homo sapiens. ▶️ The Bodo 1 partial cranium, found in Ethiopia in 1976, was designated as the holotype for Homo bodoensis. It was previously classified as Homo sapiens rhodesiensis, archaic Homo sapiens, and Homo heidelbergensis. ▶️ There's an ongoing debate about Homo heidelbergensis as some scholars, including philosopher William Lane Craig, propose that Adam and Eve may be members of this species. ▶️ We argue that the fossil specimens assigned to Homo heidelbergensis, Neanderthals, ‘archaic’ Homo sapiens, Homo bodoensis, do not represent evolutionary stages but rather subgroups of Homo sapiens. ▶️ Our view remains that many of these finds do not fit neatly into an evolutionary framework. We instead suggest they might represent subgroups of Homo sapiens or distinct creations. The ongoing debates and "muddle in the middle" underscore the uncertainties and discrepancies inherent in the current evolutionary model.

Let's continue to challenge prevailing narratives and uncover the truth in the history recorded in the Bible.

so I'm studying biology, and I'm looking at human evolution specifically

Homo habilis existed 2,2 - 1,6 million years ago. Australopithecus africanus existed 3 - 2 million years ago. Australopithecus sediba existed 1,9 - 1,8 million years ago.

meaning that Homo habilis lived alongside each one, and watched each die out before they met their own death

Booth: "what's that, a monkey?"

Bones: "no, it's the skull of Australopithecus robustus sediba"

Me: "that is neither the skull of A. robustus OR P. sediba".

Mum: "it could absolutely be the skull of A. Robustus.. if it was run over by a mammoth"

قد يكون السفر إلى الفضاء ظاهرة حديثة نسبياً، لكن يتمكن اثنين من أسلاف البشر القدامى من اختبارها أيضاً، وإن كان ذلك بعد نحو مليوني سنة من وفاتهم.. إذ تم إطلاق بقايا نوع من أشباه البشر يُدعى (أسترالوبيثكس سيديبا Australopithecus sediba ) والتي يعود تاريخها إلى مليوني عام في الفضاء كجزء من رحلة سفينة الفضاء التابعة لشركة Virgin Galactic المسماة VSS Unity. كما تم تضمين بقايا نوع عمره 250 ألف عام يُدعى Homo naledi في المركبة، التي أُرسلت إلى الفضاء في الثامن من سبتمبر الجاري. ونقلت شظايا العظام من الهيكلين العظميين القديمين إلى المدار بواسطة البروفيسور لي بيرجر. وحين وصلت إلى ارتفاع نحو 50000 قدم تم فصلها عن سفينة الفضاء. وعلق بيرغر على هذا الأمر قائلاً: «رحلة هذه الحفريات إلى الفضاء تمثل تقدير البشرية لمساهمة جميع أسلاف البشرية وأقاربنا القدامى (في صنع الحضارة)» وأضاف «لولا اختراعهم لتقنيات مثل النار والأدوات، ومساهمتهم في تطور العقل البشري المعاصر، لم تكن مثل هذه المساعي الاستثنائية مثل رحلات الفضاء لتحدث». وذكرت مجلة «إيفل ساينس» أن هذين النوعين المنقرضين من أشباه البشر من الشخصيات المهمة في شجرة العائلة البشرية، والتي لا نعرف عنها سوى القليل. واكتشفت بقايا أسترالوبيثكس سيديبا في كهف مالابا في جنوب إفريقيا ويعود تاريخها إلى نحو 1.98 مليون سنة. وحول أهمية الشحنة غير العادية، قال ماثيو بيرجر، ابن بيرجر، الذي كان جزءاً من اكتشاف البقايا عندما كان طفلاً: «تمثل هذه الحفريات أفراداً عاشوا وماتوا منذ مئات الآلاف من السنين، ومع ذلك كانوا الذين من المحتمل أن يحدقوا في النجوم في عجب، مثلما نفعل تماماً، أتخيل أنهم لم يكن بإمكانهم أبداً أن يحلموا وهم على قيد الحياة بالقيام بمثل هذه الرحلة المذهلة كسفراء لجميع أسلاف البشرية».   المصدر: الإمارات اليوم

Returning to hominid facial anatomy once again, I was able to adapt my A. sediba muscle model onto the OH5 skull (P. boisei) too! I'm happy enough with it that I went ahead and rendered some skins for them as well. Selected all the right vertices and generated UV maps and everything. Hopefully the colors look as legible on your screens as they do on mine, these are still very much in progress.

My restoration of this individual was partly based on an earlier attempt at rendering Paranthropus, from back in 2019. There were a lot of elements that got tweaked or entirely changed up in the update, but the mouth got to stay the same between renderings. Having even a little understanding of the face muscles makes a visible difference from one model to another, and I'm sure there's still some parts I could improve on as I keep working in this vein. If anyone has more technical knowledge about this sort of thing than I do, feel entirely free to get at me : )

I più antichi turisti spaziali

Due antenati dell’uomo, un Australopithecus sediba di due milioni di anni e un Homo naledi di 250.000 anni, sono diventati i più antichi turisti spaziali: i loro fossili (rispettivamente una clavicola e un pollice) hanno volato a bordo della navetta della Virgin Galactic dello scorso 8 settembre, per onorare il contributo dato da tutti gli antenati dell’uomo al progresso tecnologico che ha…

Karabo Skull

-- officially called "MH1"

-- Australopithecus sediba

-- 1.98 million years old

-- found in Malapa, South Africa

[despite-everything]

does anyone have a screencap of xu wenwu's desk from shang-chi???? there was an australopith cranium on the desk and i'm pretty sure it's MH-1 (a. sediba) but it was only on screen for a few seconds and i'm going crazy trying to find a screencap so i can check

An article published in the journal "eLife" reports a study of Australopithecus sediba's spine. A team of researchers created 3D reproductions of fossil vertebrae discovered in 2015 during excavations at the Malapa site, where the first bones attributed to this hominin species were discovered. This allowed obtaining an almost complete lower spine of the specimen cataloged as MH2 whose characteristics confirm the conclusions of previous studies that indicated that these australopithecines used their arms to climb trees like apes but used their legs in bipedal walking like the later species of the genus Homo.
