Matthew Stevens+FollowLucy Had Company: Meet Her Tree-Climbing Cousin!Turns out Lucy wasn’t the only early human hanging around Ethiopia 3.4 million years ago! Scientists just linked a mysterious fossil foot (with toes made for tree-grabbing) to a lesser-known human relative, Australopithecus deyiremeda. These two species lived side by side but had totally different lifestyles—one was more of a tree-hugger, the other a ground-walker. Human evolution just got a lot messier (and cooler)! #History #HumanEvolution #FossilFind00Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowAncient Foot Fossil Reveals Human CousinsTurns out, Lucy wasn’t the only game in town! Scientists finally cracked the mystery of the 3.4-million-year-old 'Burtele Foot' found in Ethiopia. It belonged to Australopithecus deyiremeda, a human ancestor with both ape-like and human-like features—think walking upright but still rocking a tree-climbing big toe. This means two different human species lived side-by-side, each with their own way of moving and eating. Evolution was way messier (and cooler) than we thought! #Science #evolution #fossilfind10Share
Jason Cuevas+FollowDino Caught Mid-Snack—For 125 Million Years!Imagine finding a fossil of a dinosaur literally choking on its lunch! Scientists in China uncovered a Microraptor frozen in time, jaws wide open, with a bird halfway down its throat. This isn’t just bones—it’s a prehistoric action shot, showing exactly how these four-winged predators hunted. Turns out, this dino bit off more than it could chew, and both predator and prey ended up immortalized together. Nature’s ultimate plot twist, right? #History #FossilFind #DinosaurDrama10Share
