I do think that @nature has done the field a disservice by not requiring this paper to address the contradictions in data and interpretation between this new analysis and that published by Roberto Macchiarelli and coworkers two years ago. https://t.co/p3EImJXWTb

What people are saying
The discussions reflect a mixture of curiosity and critical analysis, with posts mentioning the partial femur, its relation to bipedalism, and debates about interpretations, showing attention to detail and broader implications for human evolution studies.
Discussions are divided; some posts agree that the new analysis offers valuable insights, while others suggest it challenges previous understandings, leading to a neutral overall stance.
Many posts show curiosity about the new findings, especially regarding the femur and its implications for bipedalism, indicating moderate interest.
Discussions reference specific aspects like the femur, the contradictory data, and interpretative debates, reflecting attentive engagement.
The debates highlight the significance of the research in re-evaluating fossil interpretations, suggesting a moderate to high impact on the field.
Abstract in brief
- The partial femur TM 26601063 was found in 2001 at TorosMenalla, Chad, at the same site where the cranium of Sahelanthropus tchadensis was discovered, and is believed to belong to a hominid species.
- The differences between this femur and those of other primates, like Orrorin tugenensis from Kenya, suggest that S. tchadensis is a distinct species, and the femur indicates that the individual was likely not a habitual biped.
- The discovery encourages further searches for more postcranial (body part) fossils of S. tchadensis at the site, which could provide more insight into its physical traits and evolutionary relationships.]
