  • Episode 22: On the Origin of (Modern Chin) Species
    I know I say every episode is great. But this one really, really, really is. Our guest today is Jill Scott, a Ph.D. candidate from the University of Iowa in paleoanthropology. She uses 3D imaging to determine the evolutionary significance of chins. Not only that, but Jill was a part of the team that analyzed and named the newly discovered Homo naledi, our latest addition to the hominin species family tree.
    Sit back, relax, and enjoy our #chinchatwithJill.
