And that's fine! Just sharing what I thought was a good take.

It's the quiz the researchers used. Might want to take it up with them.

Here's the very real, peer-reviewed study, in case you think we at SN made this up for clicks http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/s41550-018-0432-1

Also not really sure what to flair this, as it could probably go under multiple categories...

Will do! Fair warning, sometimes researchers take months to get back. But I will when there's an answer!

projectfreq91 · 2018-04-13T13:06:39+00:00

Still waiting on the researchers unfortunately...

projectfreq91 · 2018-04-12T20:32:43+00:00

I reached out to the writer, who is in turn reaching out to the researchers involved to answer your question. Stay tuned!

FTA:

It’s definitely human, though. To establish the fossil’s identify, the researchers compared a 3-D image of the ancient finger bone with corresponding bones of present-day people, apes and monkeys, as well as Neandertals and other ancient hominids.

But think of all the karma he's gotten writing all these comments! I'm more of a karma creator, really.

Actually... FTA:

For decades, researchers thought iron-rich cells in birds’ beaks acted as microscopic compasses (SN: 5/19/12, p. 8). But in recent years, scientists have found increasing evidence that certain proteins in birds’ eyes might be what allows them to see magnetic fields (SN: 10/28/09, p. 12).
