Formation and composition of Earth’s Hadean protocrust - Nature

|
By Simon R. Turner, Bernard Wood, Craig O’Neill
| Nature Verified
Abstract Although Earth, together with other terrestrial planets, must have had an early-formed protocrust, the chemical composition of this crust has received little attention. The protocrust was extracted from an extensive magma ocean formed by accretion and melting of asteroidal bodies1. Both experimental and chronological data suggest that the silicate melt ascending from this magma ocean formed in equilibrium with, or after, metal was extracted to form Earth’s core.

Birth of Paranthropus

|
By Bernard Wood, Daniel B. Biggs
| Wiley Online Library Verified
The immediate response to Raymond Dart's proposal that the Taung infant skull belonged to “an extinct race of apes intermediate between living anthropoids and man” ([1], p. 195) was not encouraging [2]. Until the original specimen was brought to Europe in 1931, the only evidence available to anyone outside of South Africa interested in assessing Dart's claim was the detailed description, and the excellent—but modest-sized—photographs and line drawings of the specimen provided in the Nature paper.

Spatial sampling bias influences our understanding of early hominin evolution in eastern Africa - Nature Ecology & Evolution

|
By W. Andrew Barr, Bernard Wood
| Nature Verified
Abstract The eastern branch of the Eastern African Rift System (EARS) is the source of a large proportion of the early hominin fossil record, but it covers a tiny fraction (ca. 1%) of the continent. Here we investigate how this mismatch between where fossils are preserved and where hominins probably lived may influence our ability to understand early hominin evolution, using extant mammals as analogues.
