Biogeography of Human AncestryVersión en línea This interactive map shows the most notable primate and hominin fossil discoveries across Africa and why they are important to paleontology por Natalie Eng 1 "Lucy" - a.k.a Australopithecus afarensis, was discovered in 1973 in Hadar, Ethiopia. 2 "Tuang Child" - a.k.a. Australopithecus africanus was discovered on accident by quarry workers and became evidence that Australopithecus were settled in Africa as the evolutionary starting point for the hominin line. 3 "Turkana Boy" - a.k.a. Homo ergaster is a nearly complete skeleton estimated to be around 1.6 mya. He shows a body structure similar to modern humans with his long legs, short arms, and narrow hips. This indicated adaptations for long distance running! 4 "Toumaï" - a.k.a. Sahelanthropus tchadensis, at 7mya is a nearly complete skull that suggests that around that time is when humans and chimpanzees separated. 5 "Orrorin" - a.k.a. Orrorin tugenensis, is the earliest evidence of bipedalism and pushes back fossil evidence closer to the chimpanzee-human split. 6mya 6 "Handy Man" - a.k.a. Homo habilis, considered one of the earliest members of Homo, was found next to stone tools. Links brain expansion directly to the discovery of tools. 7 "Little Foot" - a.k.a. Australopithecus prometheus is the most complete Australopithecus skeleton known to date. It took 20 yrs to excavate, and It's completeness shows us the clearest view of the mixed locomotion. 8 "Jebel Irhoud Hominins" - 300k y/o, Partial skulls, jaws, and teeth are the oldest dated remains of Homo sapiens. They show that the emergence of our species was a pan-African event, not restricted to a single "Garden of Eden" in East Africa. 9 "Nutcracker Man" - Known for its powerful jaws and huge molars, which suggest a diet of extremely tough foods showed us an evolutionary "dead end" that lived alongside our early human ancestors (Homo species) but chose a path of diet. Explanation 1 Fun fact! At 3.5 feet tall and weighing around 55 pounds Lucy was not unusually small for her species.
