New discoveries continue to confirm the importance of this region to our understanding of human evolution. Outlining major developments since Raymond Dart’s description of the Taung skull and, in particular, the impact of the pioneering work of Phillip V. Tobias, this book will be a valuable companion for students and researchers of human origins. It presents a summary of the current state of palaeoanthropology, reviewing the ideas that are central to the field, and provides a perspective on how future developments will shape our knowledge about hominin emergence in Africa. A wide range of key themes are covered, from the earliest fossils from Chad and Kenya, to the origins of bipedalism and the debate about how and where modern humans evolved and dispersed across Africa"-- Provided by publisher. 0aFossil hominids 0aHuman evolution1 aReynolds, Sally C.1 aGallagher, Andrew 0aCambridge studies in biological and evolutionary anthropology ;v62413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1205/2011049201-t.html
