This paper makes the claim that genetics has "resolved" Hominid phylogenetics. When genetics contradicts the fossil record or morphological affinities, it is genetics that is in error, not the fossil record. https://t.co/efBxIjFOo4

What people are saying
Most discussions reflect curiosity and recognition of the article’s importance, exemplified by comments like 'This is an interesting article' and references to new evidence reshaping understanding of human ancestry. The tone varies from straightforward acknowledgment to deeper scientific debates about the validity of genetics versus fossil records, indicating a moderate level of engagement and impact.
The majority of discussions acknowledge the significance of the article, especially its challenge to traditional views on human ancestry, indicating a moderate to strong agreement.
Participants seem highly interested in the topic, with multiple comments referencing specific scientific findings and related research.
Posts range from brief affirmations to more detailed discussions, showing some engagement with the scientific concepts and implications.
The discussions suggest the publication influences thoughts on human evolution, although overall perceived impact remains moderate due to scientific technicality.
Abstract in brief
- Australopithecus fossils were once analyzed by comparing them to living African apes, particularly chimpanzees, to understand human ancestry.
- The discovery of Ardipithecus has challenged this approach, suggesting that it may not accurately reflect our ancestral lineage.
- New evidence from various scientific fields like genetics and ecology is reshaping our understanding of the evolution of early hominids and their relation to modern primates.

@EricTropicalTX Here is a link which clarifies some why there is no missing link between great apes and humans. https://t.co/efBxIjFOo4
@radicalanthro @MoralLandscapes People who think they understand what a Hominid, Hominin, or great ape is should study primates and mammals in general to better abandon Biblical and other biases about what a human is. Hominins / great apes is not a real division see here https://t.co/efBxIjFOo4
