Journal ArticleDOI

J. Desmond Clark,Yonas Beyene,Giday WoldeGabriel,William K. Hart,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Henry Gilbert,Alban Defleur,Gen Suwa,Shigehiro Katoh,Kenneth R. Ludwig,Jean-Renaud Boisserie,Berhane Asfaw,Tim D. White,Tim D. White +14 more
TL;DR: Stratigraphically associated Late Middle Pleistocene artefacts and fossils from fluvial and lake margin sandstones of the Upper Herto Member of the Bouri Formation, Middle Awash, Afar Rift, Ethiopia and archaeological assemblages contain elements of both Acheulean and Middle Stone Age technocomplexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The characteristics and chronology of the earliest Acheulean at Konso, Ethiopia
Yonas Beyene,Shigehiro Katoh,Giday WoldeGabriel,William K. Hart,Kozo Uto,Masafumi Sudo,Megumi Kondo,Masayuki Hyodo,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne,Gen Suwa,Berhane Asfaw +11 more
TL;DR: A newly established chronometric calibration is provided for the Acheulean assemblages of the Konso Formation, southern Ethiopia, which span the time period ∼1.75 to <1.0 Ma, paralleling the emergence of Homo erectus-like hominid morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new species of great ape from the late Miocene epoch in Ethiopia.
TL;DR: The combined evidence suggests that Chororapithecus may be a basal member of the gorilla clade, and that the latter exhibited some amount of adaptive and phyletic diversity at around 10–11 Myr ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
The first skull of Australopithecus boisei
Gen Suwa,Berhane Asfaw,Yonas Beyene,Tim D. White,Shigehiro Katoh,Shinji Nagaoka,Hideo Nakaya,Kazuhiro Uzawa,Paul R. Renne,Giday WoldeGabriel +9 more
TL;DR: The unexpected combination of cranial and facial features of this skull cautions against the excessive taxonomic splitting of early hominids based on morphological detail documented in small and/or geographically restricted samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetostratigraphy of Plio-Pleistocene sediments in a 1700-m core from Osaka Bay, southwestern Japan and short geomagnetic events in the middle Matuyama and early Brunhes chrons
D.K Biswas,Masayuki Hyodo,Y Taniguchi,Masanori Kaneko,Shigehiro Katoh,Hiroshi Sato,Y Kinugasa,K Mizuno +7 more
TL;DR: A magnetic polarity stratigraphy spanning more than the past 3.2 Myr was determined for a long 1545 m continuous sedimentary sequence of marine, fluvial, and lacustrine deposits from the Osaka Basin, southwestern Japan as discussed by the authors.
