Trust,people and dogs, why I love SA a thread: today I rescued a 3 legged greyhound. It was on a 6 lane highway. I stopped my car and got out and as I was trying to chase the dog a black gentleman who was walking somewhere joined me in helping chase the dog. The dog ran 2kms. 1/?
Then while I paused to go back and fetch my car, four black gentleman came out of the bushes on the side of the road, and came up to me and asked if the original gentleman (still chasing the dog) had stolen my phone and if I needed help.I told them we were chasing the dog 2/?
They double checked I was alright and left. The 1st guy came back and said the dog was tired and resting under an overpass. I drove to the overpass where another car was stopped. 2 black gentleman were in the car and offered to help. Me and the one approached the dog. 3/?
[Intro thread] Hi everyone! My name is Kim @KimTommy92 and I have recently completed my Masters degree @WitsUniversity in palaeoanthropology! I decided to take a year off before starting a PhD and I am currently the science communication officer for @CoE_Palaeo!
I’m joining you today from my home in Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦. #ProudlySouthAfrican. My home country has a rich and beautiful fossil record and you might already know the names of the hominins I research.
As I mentioned I am a palaeoanthropologist so I study the evolution of our species modern humans. This is a really broad field with many amazing researchers looking at the questions “Who are we? And where did we come from?” from a variety of different perspectives.
