(July 2007) Paleoanthropology , which combines the disciplines of paleontology and physical anthropology , is the study of ancient humans as found in fossil hominid evidence such as petrifacted bones and footprints. The science arguably began in the late when important discoveries occurred which led to the study of human evolution . The discovery of the Neanderthal in Germany Thomas Huxley 's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature , and Charles Darwin 's The Descent of Man were all important to early paleoanthropological research. The modern field of paleoanthropology began in the 19th century with the discovery of " Neanderthal man" (the eponymous skeleton was found in , but there had been finds elsewhere since ), and with evidence of so-called

A trail of footprints left in volcanic ash nearly four million years ago, corroborating the contention that Lucy was a biped, is threatened by both man made and natural damage in Tanzania, it was declared recently at a scientific symposium in South Korea. The authors of this paper present a simple model of population expansion and migration over the more than 50,000 years that may better explain much of the current global pattern of DNA variation. These interpretations imply that cultural adaptation accompanied by population growth over the past 10,000 to 20,000 years, such as the spread of agriculture and migration into different climatic environments, may have supplied much of the selective pressure that explains recent genetic adaptation in humans.

The meeting is scheduled in conjunction with the Society for American Archaeology (SAA), which will meet in Vancouver on March 26 -30. Additional hotel information is available on the SAA web site Preliminary Program now available (revised Feb. 28, 2008). PaleoAnthropology Journal The journal PaleoAnthropology is now being published jointly by the Society and the University of Pennsylvania Museum. As a result, beginning immediately, the journal will be accessible free of charge to everyone, including non-members of the Paleoanthropology Society. The journal can be accessed here In addition to the publication of articles, book reviews, and the abstracts of the annual meetings of the Society, the journal accepts commentaries on articles, summaries of current work in the various fields of paleoanthropology. Articles are fully peer-reviewed and may contain large data files, numerous illustrations and links to visualizations; manuscripts based on dissertation work, up to entire dissertations, may be submitted as appropriate. As always, the journal depends on the contributions of scholars within the field, and the editors would like to take this opportunity to encourage all of you to think of our journal as an outlet for the presentation of your research.

Evidence of migration routes See also Paleoanthropology in CogWeb's bibliography Introduction: The Hominid Family top The terminology of our immediate biological family is currently in flux; for an overview, see a current hominoid taxonomy . The term "hominin" refers to any genus in the human tribe (Hominini), of which Homo sapiens (modern man) is the only living specimen. We don't have to go too far back into the past, however, to find relatives (cf. "We Were Not Alone," SciAm Jan 2000). Discounting abominable snowmen, yeti, bigfoot, and other merely rumored possible members of our family, we know that only 28,000 years ago Neanderthals still thrived in Europe. More surprisingly, recent evidence (see below ) suggests that a member of even longer standing, Homo erectus , who first appears in the fossil record nearly two million years ago, may have continued to inhabit the island of Java as recently as ten thousand years ago, or into historical times.

    Extractions: -Advertisement- Four Associated Activities of this Unit: The chicken foot reassembly. To establish the difficulties encountered reassembling fossil bones, each student is given a fresh, boiled chicken foot with the challenge that s/he clean the foot of all soft tissues, including cartilage, and reassemble the dried bones to make the original appendage. Students rapidly appreciate how much tissue is usually lost in the process of fossilization. They recognize the need to organize their bones in practical, retrievable ways, and note patterns in bone struct ure. Analyzing a geological cake. To explore the rules that govern assessment of geological sites, the class is given a layer cake to analyze. Layers are thin, many in number, varied in flavor, separated by colorful layers of icing, and interspersed with various candy "fossils." The task is to establish the chronology of events by which the cake was assembled and to justify each statement with physical evidence. Through discussion of their discovery process, students are able to establish the logical ba sis for geology's uniformitarian rules of superposition, original horizontality, inclusions, and igneous crosscutting. The activity is just goofy enough to be intriguing. Since the formal geologist's logic matches their own detective work, acceptance of the scientific norm, and even its nomenclature, is relatively easy.

    Extractions: The Duke in South Africa Paleoanthropology Field School is on hiatus for the 2008 season. We would like to thank all the students who have participated in this program in past seasons and we look forward to future opportunities. The Department of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy (BAA) and the Office of Study Abroad offer a six-week, two-course, field-study program in the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage Site in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The program, directed by Associate Professor Steven Churchill of Duke University, gives students hands-on training in the field of paleoanthropology while conducting excavation and survey in a variety of paleontological contexts. Our plans for the 2006 season (subject to change) include excavation at a number of sites across South Africa. Students will spend approximately two and a half weeks excavating at Plovers Lake, in Late Pleistocene deposits that have produced remains of early modern humans. Plovers Lake is located in the “Cradle of Humankind” world heritage site. Approximately one and a half weeks will be spent excavating for fossils of early (Late Cretaceous and Paleocene) primates in the Pafuri Triangle of the Northern Kruger Park. One week will be spent excavating Plio-Pleistocene deposits in the Free State. Accomodation will vary by location, but students can expect to spend most of the trip living in tent campes in the bush. This will allow them to explore modern African ecology firsthand. They will see original human fossils, such as the Taung child and "Mrs. Ples", in the collections of the University of the Witwatersrand and the Transvaal Museum. Additional experience will be gained by visiting the important fossil sites of Sterkfontein, Kromdraai, Drimolen and Gladysvale. Students will explore the diverse environments of southern Africa during excursions to Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope.

Overview: Zeresenay "Zeray" Alemseged, a National Geographic Emerging Explorer , is a paleoanthropologist. What's that? The simple answer is that a paleoanthropologist is a person who studies the origins of humans through fossils and artifacts. However, the field of paleoanthropology is highly complex, with each related discipline influencing and furthering each of the others. Many disciplines of science contribute to the study of early human life. In this lesson, students consider how Dr. Alemseged chose paleoanthropology as his career as they learn more about how different scientists work together to learn about human origins. A primary focus of this lesson is on how bipedalism developed in hominids, and the significance of that development in the quest to understand human origins.
