What was significant about Michael Bruner's find?
3.5 million-year-old jawbone found among the Djurab desert of Chad. Late Miocene
hominid nicknamed Toumai; which may predate earliest current hominid find called
'Lucy. '
Brunet had a revelation: his team had found the same kinds of animal bones at sites in
Chad that White & his colleagues had found with their fossils of early human ancestors
in Ethiopia
What fossil finds are the following scientists associated with:
Eugene Dubois-
Raymond Dart-
Louis and Mary Leaky-
Don Johanson-
Dart- involvement in the 1924 discovery of the first fossil ever found of Australopithecus
Africanus at Taung, in the north of South Africa. Leakeys- Olduvai Gorge in 1951, where
they found many stone tools and later the skull of a Miocene hominid, named Proconsul
Africanus. Leakey excavations uncovered over 100 different forms of extinct animal life
at Olduvai Gorge. The first important discovery at Olduvai, named Zinjanthropus boisei,
uncovered on July 17, 1959; now known as Australopithecus boisei. Another find in
1960 led Leakey and his team to announce the new species Homo habilis or "handy
man. Johanson- discovering the fossil of a female hominid Australopithecine known as
"Lucy" in the Afar Triangle region of Hadar, Ethiopia (1974). Dubois- known for the
discovery of Pithecanthropus erectus or, "Java Man".
Dubois: Java Man in Indonesia in 1891
Dart: Taung Baby
Louis and Mary Leakey: Zinji
Johanson: Lucy found in Ethiopia in 1974
Where is the Middle Awash? What did Tim White publish in 1994 from the Middle
Awash? What was the key shortcoming of his publication?
The Middle Awash is in Ethiopia. Completely fossilized female skeleton known as Ardi.
Ardipithecus ramidus.
What hominid did Mary Leakey discover in 1959 from Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania?
Indicate what the significance is of this fossil.
In 1959 at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, she discovered the skull of an early hominid
(member of the human lineage) that her husband named Zinjanthropus, or "eastern
man," though it is now regarded as Paranthropus, a type of australopith, or "southern
, ape."
Recognized today as a member of Australopithecus Boisei
Showed that the earliest sign of becoming human was not a big brain
The Taung Baby and Zinji showed that one of the earliest steps towards becoming
human was walking uprights. The big brain did not come until later
Recognition of Africa as the birthplace of humans
Who was Eugene Dubois and what did he discover? Where did the fossil come
from? By what name is this species known?
Dutch medical student in search of 'missing link.' August 1891, discover the molar of a
hominid, Solo River near the village of Trinil on the island of Java. two months later find
skullcap and 'upright' thighbone ____> Pithecanthropus erectus or "erect-ape-
man"(Java man).
First specimen of Homo Erectus found, a key human ancestor that arose about 1.8
million years ago
What is Piltdown man? What anatomical features "suggested" that it was human?
(Eoanthropus dawsoni) a fraudulent fossil composed of a human cranium and an ape
jaw, allegedly discovered in a gravel pit at Piltdown Insussex, England and presented in
1912 as a genuine hominid of the early Pleistocene, but shown to be a hoax in 1953.
Piltdown remains showed them to be the skillfully disguised fragments of a quite
modern human cranium (about 600 years old), the jaw and teeth of an orangutan, and
the tooth probably of a chimpanzee, all fraudulently introduced into the shallow gravels.
Big brain and primitive apelike jaw
Why did Raymond Dart's 1924 discovery run counter to Piltdown Man?
Taung baby was discovered by Dart in 1924. The fossil proves brains got bigger after
teeth got smaller and possibly more omnivorous. This is in contrast with the Piltdown
Man who had big teeth and a large brain.
Piltdown had a large brain and primitive Jaw, Taung had a relatively small brain and
modern teeth
What fossil upstaged Raymond Dart in 1931? Where did the fossil come from? By
what name is this species known?
The Peaking Man, discovered in China (1929) by a Canadian physician, Davidson Black
Black named it sinanthropus pekinesis
Same species as Java Man
Later renamed Homo Erectus
What is the Acheulean tradition and what time does it date to?
