The curse of Toumai: an ancient skull, a disputed femur and a bitter feud over humanity’s origins.
When fossilised remains were discovered in the Djurab desert in 2001, they were hailed as radically rewriting the history of our species. But not everyone was convinced - and the bitter argument that followed has consumed the lives of scholars ever since.

(EyesOnSci)CHINA-JURASSIC FOSSIL DISCOVERY-ORIGIN OF BIRDS (CN)
(250213) -- BEIJING, Feb. 13, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This combo photo shows an image of the fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis (above) and a skeleton diagram. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought.
The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known.
The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature. (Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology/Handout via Xinhua)

(250213) -- BEIJING, Feb. 13, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This file photo taken on Oct. 21, 2023 shows researchers of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and of the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey (FIGS) working at a field survey and excavation site in Zhenghe County, southeast China's Fujian Province. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought.
