  • Early Hominids
    CHAPTER 4 Humans living 2 million years ago shaped stone and animal bones into simple tools. Early Hominids 2.1 Introduction In Chapter 1, you explored cave paintings made by prehistoric humans. Scientists call these prehistoric humans hominids. In this chapter, you will learn about five important groups of hominids. You've already met three kinds of "history detectives"—archeologists, historians, and geographers. The study of hominids involves a fourth type, paleoanthropologists. Anthropologists study human development and culture. Paleoanthropologists specialize in studying the earliest hominids. (Paleo means "ancient") In 1974, an American paleoanthropologist, Donald Johanson, made an exciting discovery. He was searching for artifacts under a hot African sun when he found a partial skeleton. The bones included a piece of skull, a jawbone, a rib, and leg bones. After careful study, Johanson decided the bones came from a female hominid who lived more than 3 million years ago. He nicknamed her "Lucy" while he was listening to the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," by the Beatles. She is one of the earliest hominids ever discovered. What have scientists found out about Lucy and other hominids? How were these hominids like us? How were they different? What capabilities, or skills, did each group have?

Q: Before Lucy, what was the accepted narrative of human evolution? A: In the early 1970s when I first went into the field, there was a tug-of-war going on between Europe and Africa. Most people thought our most primitive origins were in Africa, but where we really became human was Europe. Q: How did the discovery of Lucy change that? A: She shifted, very dramatically, anthropologists' view of where we obtained our human features. She showed us it happened in Eastern Africa, and more specifically in the Afar region of Ethiopia where she was found. She also allowed us to say conclusively that upright walking went back as much as 3.5 million A reconstruction of a female Australopithecus afarensis. years.

  • Lucy Discoverer on the Ancestor People Relate to Donald Johanson Reflects on the Enduring Charisma of the Australopithecus Afarensis Fossil He Found 40 Years Ago
    NATURE | NEWS: Q&A Lucy discoverer on the ancestor people relate to Donald Johanson reflects on the enduring charisma of the Australopithecus afarensis fossil he found 40 years ago. Ewen Callaway 21 November 2014 Morton Beebe/Corbis Donald Johanson with Lucy in a 1982 picture. “Feeling really lucky,” Donald Johanson wrote in his diary the morning of 24 November 1974, while staying at a remote camp in northern Ethiopia’s Afar region. Hours later, the palaeoanthropologist, now at Arizona State University in Tempe, happened upon the 3.2-million-year-old remains of a small-bodied early human, possibly on the lineage that gave rise to Homo sapiens. He and his collaborators named it Australopithecus afarensis, and the skeleton became known to the world as Lucy. Forty years on, Johanson, now 71, talks about the discovery and Lucy’s enduring importance and appeal. What did scientists know about early human evolution before Lucy? Before my discoveries at the site of Hadar in Ethiopia, we had relatively few fossil species, and only a handful that were as old as 3 million years: There was a piece of arm, a single tooth, a chunk of jaw and maybe a bit of skull. But we didn't have any idea of what early hominids looked like. What took you to Ethiopia in the early 1970s? A young geologist by the name of Maurice Taieb [who is now director of research at the European Centre of Research and Teaching of Geosciences of the Environment in Aix-en-Provence, France] had been exploring the Afar region, and during the course of that preliminary work in the late 1960s, he encountered large areas that were very fossil-rich.

  • Australopithecus Afarensis
    Ramsaday college Australopithecus afarensis Australopithecus afarensis (Latin: "Southern ape from Afar") is an extinct hominin that lived between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago in Africa. A. afarensis was slenderly built and is thought to be more closely related to the genus Homo (which includes the modern human species Homo sapiens), whether as a direct ancestor or a close relative of an unknown ancestor, than any other known primate from the same time. A. afarensis existed between 3.9 and 3.0 million years ago. The species is one of the better-known australopithecines, merely with regard to the number of samples attributed to the species. The species was named by D. Johanson and T. White in 1978. Key fossil discoveries During the 1970s, two fossil hunting teams began uncovering evidence of ancient human ancestors in east Africa. One team, co-led by Donald Johanson, was working at Hadar in Ethiopia. The other team led by Mary Leakey, was over 1,500 kilometres away at Laetoli in Tanzania. Fossils discovered at the two sites were found to have very similar features and ages but they did not match the fossils of any species known at that time. A new species name, Australopithecus afarensis, was therefore created for them in 1978. A number of fossils of this type have been discovered at different times (between 1975- 1991) by Johanson, Johanson and Gray, Abell, and Kimbell and Rak from different places of east Africa like Hadar (Ethiopia) and Laetoli (Tanzania). Of these fossil remains, the one, a 3.2 million years old partial skeleton, discovered in November 1974 at Hadar, Ethiopia, Possibly the best-known specimen of afarensis is AL 288–1.

  • THE EVOLUTION of BIPEDALISM > Lesson Overview - Intermediate & Advanced
    STEP BY STEP: THE EVOLUTION OF BIPEDALISM Lesson Overview - Intermediate & Advanced > Overview: Bipedalism is a defining characteristic of modern humans that evolved over millions of years. Therefore, identifying evidence for bipedalism in the fossil record can help determine what selective pressures may have affected human evolution. This lesson examines the significance of bipedalism, anatomical adaptations exhibited by hominins, and discusses possible climatic influences on bipedal evolution. Students should have a basic understanding of osteology (i.e. skeletal anatomy). Objectives: To understand the significance of identifying bipedal evidence within the fossil record. To learn the morphological adaptations associated with bipedalism. To become familiar with the environmental and behavioral pressures that may have affected bipedal locomotion. Outline: A. Introduction to Bipedalism B. Anatomical Evidence for Bipedalism C. Fossil and Geologic Evidence D. Conclusions E. Activity: Bipedalism Features Chart F. Activity: Brain vs. Bipedalism G.
