The Early Pleistocene was a critical time period in the evolution of eastern African mammal faunas, but fossil assemblages sampling this interval are poorly known from Ethiopia’s Afar Depression. Field work by the Hadar Research Project in the Busi

The Skull of Australopithecus Afarensis

Autor: William H. Kimbel, Yoel Rak, Donald C. Johanson, Ralph L. Holloway, Michael S. Yuan

The book is the most in-depth account of the fossil skull anatomy and evolutionary significance of the 3.6-3.0 million year old early human species Australopithecus afarensis. Knowledge of this species is pivotal to understanding early human evolutio

The mechanical behaviour of the mandibles of Pan and Macaca during mastication was compared using finite element modelling. Muscle forces were calculated using species-specific measures of physiological cross-sectional area and scaled using electromy

Studies of hominin dental morphology frequently consider accessory cusps on the lower molars, in particular those on the distal margin of the tooth (C6 or distal accessory cusp) and the lingual margin of the tooth (C7 or lingual accessory cusp). They

Endocranial imprints suggest that “Lucy’s” species had an ape-like brain and may have had a long dependence on caregivers.
Human brains are three times larger, are organized differently, and mature for a longer period of time than those of
