    Extractions: Faculty How to Apply Classes Home The Institute of Human Origins in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University now offers a field school in paleoanthropology at the Lucy site at Hadar, Ethiopia. This region of the Afar Triangle is one of the richest in the world for middle Pliocene hominin fossils. The Hadar site contains approximately a million years of human evolution within its deposits. Australopithecus afarensis material has been recovered from more than 3.4 to 3.0 million years ago. The A. afarensis sites include the Lucy Locality (AL-288), the First Family Locality (AL-333), the two adult skull localities (AL-444 and AL-822). Early Homo material from ~ 2.33 million years ago includes the locality of AL-666. In addition, stone tools have been recovered from sediments older than 2.33 million years. The program includes instruction in early hominin evolution, paleoecology, faunal analysis, geology, archaeology, site mapping, fossil survey, and various types of excavation.

"Clark's central importance since the 1950s has been to make paleoanthropology what it is today - that is, the integration of archaeology, geology, biological anthropology, ecology, evolutionary biology, primatology and ethnography," said White. "When you look at a modern paleoanthropology project, whether in Tanzania or South Africa or Ethiopia, you find Clark's stamp everywhere. He personified modern paleoanthropology."

46. PALEOANTHROPOLOGY: ON THE FLORES FOSSILS

    Extractions: 1) The recently discovered Homo floresiensis fossils (1,2) probably left no descendants, are not very old, and were found on a remote island. Despite this, they are among the most outstanding discoveries in palaeoanthropology for half a century. The find is startling. It is of a pygmy-sized, small-brained hominin, which lived as recently as 18,000 years ago, and which was found on the island of Flores together with stone tools, dwarf elephants and Komodo dragons. 2) The Flores fossils add a new and surprising twig to the hominin family tree, which diverged from the chimpanzee lineage about 7 million years ago. The first African hominins existed 7-1.2 million years ago, were 1-1.5 meters tall, walked upright on two legs (i.e., were bipedal), and had chimpanzee-size brains. These early forms comprised as many as six genera and fourteen species, of which the australopithecines are the best known. By 2.5 million years ago, our own genus, Homo, had emerged, with its different body shape, slower growth, greater reliance on meat in the diet, and "encephalization" larger brains than expected for body size. These were the first hominins to make stone tools systematically and to colonize Eurasia. They include the familiar names of H. habilis, H. erectus, H. neanderthalensis and, finally, H. sapiens, which put in an appearance about 160,000 years ago. The new fossil is part of this Homo group.

Sixty-two populations from North, Central, and Southeast Asia, Eastern and Western Europe, America, East Africa, Australia, and Melanesia have been examined. The estimates of phenetic diversity within regions (F st ) and the distances of the regions from the global means (d) proved to be comparable to the corresponding estimates inferred from genetic data. This means that differentiation of populations in discrete variable traits is related to the history of formation of their gene pools. A classification tree of the world peoples constructed using bootstrap implemented in the PHYLIP program package (Felsenstein, 1993) showed that the Australo-Melanesian populations were close to the East African ones but separated from those of the Eurasian region. The results of phylogenetic analysis of the reconstructed phene pools of the regional ancestral populations support the assumptions on the early colonization of Australia and Melanesia and on the later time of divergence of the ancestors of modern Caucasoids and North Asian Mongoloids.

    Extractions: Fig.1:Jehol Biota Among the most distinguished discoveries recently made by the research groups is a four-winged dinosaur Microraptor (Fig. 2), which preserves feathers in the forelimb, hindlimb and the tail and provides indisputable support for the dinosaurian ancestry of birds and much new evidence on the evolution of feathers and flight.The primitive birds from the Jehol Biota represents the most important discoveries after the oldest bird Archaeopteryx . Among them, Jeholornis (Fig. 3), a long-tailed bird, not only represents the earliest evidence for seed eating diet adaptation in avian evolution but also provides additional support for a close relationship between birds and dromaeosaurid dinosaurs. Their study of the Jehol Biota by the research group of the Jehol Biota also established the global significance of this Lower Cretaceous biome. Their work shows that the Jehol Biota represents almost all major clades of Lower Cretaceous terrestrial and freshwater vertebrates, a wide variety of invertebrates and a diverse flora, providing a rare, incredibly detailed picture of an intact Early Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystem. By comparing the Jehol Biota with contemporaneous biota in other areas, they concluded that the Jehol Biota is the cradle and radiation center for many vertebrate groups rather than the refugium of relics as previously proposed by other workers.

    Extractions: Metanavigation: In the near future, the anatomy of the fossil hominins that usually represent rare and precious museum items, will no longer be studied on the specimens themselves but on virtual representation. Gathering these numerical data, building virtual collections and being top notch in their analysis is one main axis of activity of the paleoanthropology group. It implies a strong network of collaboration with other institutions at the international level. Providing top-level technical facilities in Leipzig indeed attract the collaboration of museums and research teams that, so far, at the European level, have only relied on medical institutions to perform computer tomography analyses. Among other advantages, these techniques of imaging give access to the comparative exploration of anatomical structures in living humans and hopefully soon in living Primates. Comparisons with the fossil data with respect to such issues as growth and development, skeletal and dental maturation, evolution of the brain and its blood supply become possible.

    Extractions: Home Project Description Introduction to Paleoanthroplogy Project History ... Project Publications What is paleoanthropology? Ethiopia is known throughout the world for its antiquities, ranging from historic sites such as Gondar and Lalibela, to much older, prehistoric sites such as those found in the Afar and lower Omo regions. Most of the past happened before written historical records were made, so most of human existence was, in fact, prehistoric. Today, paleoanthropologists study all aspects of the human past. They pay particular attention to the biological and cultural dimensions of human ancestors. To study these dimensions, paleoanthropologists rely on evidence in the form of artifacts, fossilized bones of ancestors, and the contexts in which these specimens are found. This is very difficult work. In general, the older something is (in geological terms), the greater the chance that the forces of nature have destroyed it. For this reason, most evidence from the prehistoric past has disappeared. Paleoanthropologists actively search for traces of the past that have not disappeared, and they work to infer what happened by using these clues. There are three basic sciences that contribute the most data to paleoanthropology, archaeology, geology, and paleontology. Archaeologists, geologists, and paleontologists work closely together in paleoanthropological research, each contributing vital information necessary to understand human origins and evolution.

Increasingly though, researchers are venturing underwater and they're finding remarkably preserved glimpses of our past. Earlier this year, researchers from London's Imperial College discovered a huge underwater valley carved into the chalk floor of the English Channel when rising water levels burst through the Weald-Artois chalk ridge and created today's English Channel.

The book is not only revised but also expanded-this edition is over twice the length of the first edition. At present, Paleoanthropology is easily the most comprehensive single source on the human fossil record and will serve as a valuable reference to anyone interested in human origins and evolution. The book consists of 14 chapters arranged in 4 major sections. The first section, titled "The Basis for Human Evolution," provides a detailed review of dating methods (chapter 1), evolutionary theory (chapter 2), and primate evolution (chapter 3).
