Journal ArticleDOI
The Origin of Man
TL;DR: Evidence provided by the fossil record, primate behavior, and demographic analysis shows that the traditional view that early human evolution was a direct consequence of brain expansion and material culture is incorrect, and that the unique sexual and reproductive behavior of man may be the sine qua non of human origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ardipithecus ramidus and the Paleobiology of Early Hominids
Tim D. White,Berhane Asfaw,Yonas Beyene,Yohannes Haile-Selassie,C. Owen Lovejoy,Gen Suwa,Giday WoldeGabriel +6 more
TL;DR: Ardipithecus ramidus indicates that despite the genetic similarities of living humans and chimpanzees, the ancestor the authors last shared probably differed substantially from any extant African ape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifactorial determination of skeletal age at death: A method and blind tests of its accuracy
TL;DR: This represents the first truly blind test of an age-at-death indicator or system, as the test populations were independent of the system(s) being tested, and the age, sex, and ethnogeographic origin of the individuals being assessed were completely unknown until the tests were completed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Australopithecus garhi: A New Species of Early Hominid from Ethiopia
Berhane Asfaw,Tim D. White,C. Owen Lovejoy,Bruce Latimer,Bruce Latimer,Scott W. Simpson,Gen Suwa +6 more
TL;DR: Discovery of 2.5 Ma hominid cranial and dental remains from the Hata beds of Ethiopia's Middle Awash allows recognition of a new species of Australopithecus, descended from Australipithecus afarensis and is a candidate ancestor for early Homo.
Journal ArticleDOI
