Q

You are a famous fossil hunter working in the deserts of Egypt at a site where early modern humans are thought to have lived. While digging at the site you come across what appears to be a fragment of bone from a human spinal column. From what you can tell, this is a vertebral segment that has a rather large vertebral body, short spinous process, and short laterally facing transverse processes. You most likely found a…
