![]() Here we present preliminary results of our X-ray synchrotron-based investigation of the skull of the 3.67-million-year-old Australopithecus specimen StW 573 (‘Little Foot’) at the I12 beamline of the Diamond Light Source (United Kingdom). More specifically, X-ray synchrotron-based analytical imaging techniques have the potential to provide crucial details on the ontogeny, physiology, biomechanics, and biological identity of fossil specimens. However, recent developments in high-resolution imaging techniques have opened new avenues in the field of paleoanthropology. ![]() ![]() Numerous aspects of early hominin biology remain debated or simply unknown. ![]()
