New insights into facial bone modeling patterns of Australopithecus sediba

Fossil remains of two individuals of Australopithecus sediba, dated to around 1.98 my ago, have been discovered in Malapa Cave, South Africa. The partial skeletons include a partial cranium of a subadult (MH1) and an adult (MH2), of which only mandibular fragments have been found. The first descrip...
