These cichlids are here described as a new species, Oreochromis Oreochromis harrisae , based on several osteological characters. The relationships of tilapiine cichlids are not well established. Few osteological studies of tilapiine cichlids have been done, and those that have tend to concentrate on pharyngeal characters that are phylogenetically useful at the generic and specific level, but not as useful at higher levels. The characters used in this paper may be useful to determine relationships among genera within the Tilapiini.

Extractions: 6 March 2002 In the last two years, several new discoveries have been announced, and some described, that radically increase the Hominid materials available from Africa from 3.3 to 6 million years ago. These were summarized, with comments by many of the key workers, by Ann Gibbons ["Becoming Human: In Search of the First Hominids ." Science . 15 Feb. 2002. = vol 295, p. 1214-1219.] Gibbons' article includes a nice time-line, a map of the localities and figures of some of the key fossils. The following material is summarized, paraphrased and quoted from Gibbon's article. Six points deserve special emphasis: It has commonly been thought that bipedal posture may have evolved as a response to more open habitats produced by climatic drying. However

Extractions: Dennis A. Etler* Introduction The recent description of fossil material attributed to an early form of Homo from Longgupo cave in Sichuan, China (Huang et al. 1995) raises new questions about the role Asia played in the evolution of the modern Hominoidea. On the one hand it refocuses attention on the fossil record of Asian Mio-Pliocene hominoids such as Sivapithecus Ramapithecus and Lufengpithecus and the role they played, if any, in human phylogenesis. On the other hand it reopens questions about early hominid dispersal patterns and the evolutionary emergence of particular hominid taxa. Longgupo, Wushan, Sichuan The Longgupo remains, which consist of a fragmentary mandible and an isolated incisor, are dated between 1.8-2.0 MYA and regarded by their Chinese discoverers and American colleagues as too primitive to be considered H. erectus (Huang et al . 1995). Wood and Turner (1995) concur, suggesting they most likely represent an early form of Homo , such as H. habilis

Extractions: Our story has now gotten to about 5 million years before yesterday afternoon. I shall commit an outrage against paleontology by giving short shrift to all sorts of lovely complications and baldly stating that one group of simians started, for one reason or another, to walk on two feet instead of four. We refer to these new, bipedal simians as hominids. I will, however, address one nasty complication. The simians were never truly quadripedal in the first place. After all, they were descended from primates who lived in trees and used all four limbs for grabbing as well as locomotion. Simian hands aren't equipped with hard hooves or big pads for heavy-duty contact with the ground. So the simians were, in point of fact, neither quadripedal nor bipedal they were sort of "unpedal". Or perhaps we could say that they were simultaneously quadripedal and quadrimanual. The hominids didn't so much give up using their hands for walking as they specialized their feet to do a better job of walking. So it's best to think of the hominids as simians with greater mobility. Many people have made a big deal about how the shift to bipedalism freed the hands to do all sorts of intellectually stimulating things, such as making tools, but our simian relatives use their hands quite adeptly. It's true that bipedalism gave the hands even greater freedom, but the basic capability to use hands to manipulate objects was already in place with the simians. What really changed the hominid condition was the new combination of using hands while walking: carrying things. Chimps and apes can pick things up, and they can run pretty fast, but when they try to do both at once, they're pretty clumsy. Hominids could carry fairly large items like babies, for example around with them. Perhaps bipedalism was a response to premature birthing it's difficult to disentangle causes from effects in these matters.

Extractions: Although major strides have been made in our understanding of hominid evolution during the last quarter century, many fundamental questions remain unanswered. Some have remained perplexing since they were first asked in the mid to late 19th century, while other have been posed much more recently as our knowledge of human evolution has increased in detail. Five of these questions will be addressed in the course. Consideration of each question will occupy approximately two weeks of the quarter. Lectures will provide a foundation in the hominid fossil record pertinent to the question and to associated readings in the core literature related to it. Demonstration labs will allow familiarity with critical fossil specimens. And discussion sessions will encourage integration of the reading material with that presented in lecture and lab.

Fossil Hominids: Frequently Asked Questions

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/faqs.html

Extractions: In mid-1994, I realized that despite fairly wide popular interest in human origins, the talk.origins archive contained almost no information on the topic. The archive also lacked responses to creationist arguments about human evolution, a serious omission considering the importance of human evolution in the creationism/evolution debate. Although there are quite a few books on human evolution written for the general public, these generally mention only a few of the major fossils, scattered throughout the book and often incompletely described. I felt there was a need for a concise list of the most important hominid fossils. Compiling such a list was harder than it sounds. Although there were many popular books on human evolution, none of them contained details of most of the important fossils, so it was necessary to use many sources. (The new book From Lucy to language (Johanson and Edgar, 1996) largely solves this problem, and also contains a gallery of superb photos of many important fossils.)

http://www.habari.co.tz/museum/evolution.htm

Extractions: Evoltion of man Laetoli foot prints 3,500,000 years ago, our very remote ancient ancestors walked through a landscape very like that which we see today. On one particular day the volcano Sadiman puffed out a lot of gray ash, which blanketed part of plains. A rain shower dampened and settled the ashes, so that the local animals left their crisp, clear tracks when they walked Through this desolated grey landscape, traveled three hominids walking on two legs. A large, medium sized and small individual walked together. A day or two letter, a fresh ash fall buried the tracks, until they were excavated in 1978. It is tempting to wonder why these ape like small brained creatures (400 cc) walked upright Ramapithecine Ramapithcines are an extinct group of apes that lived in the Miocene period, from 14 to 8 million years ago. The remain have been found in various part of the world including East Africa, Asia and Europe. In order to find out how closely the ramapithecines are related to us, their jaws have been compared with our own, and with those of our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and gorillas. The shape of their jaw suggests that, like us, the ramapithecus had short muzzles (flat face) and their teeth seem more like ours too. On this evidence it may be argued that the ramapithecines are probably more closely related to us than chimpanzee and gorilla. The australopithecine Both types of australopithecine had short muzzles, and their teeth have certain characteristics in common with our own. All the australopithecine seems to have walked upright on two legs as we do.

Extractions: A 7 page discussion of genetic pathways, specifically the direction of the orderly expression of specific gene subsets, a process which is controlled by tissue-specific transcription factors. Specific DNA target sequences are bound by these transcription factors and, in turn, interact with one another on either a cooperative basis or an antagonistic basis to control expression of the gene subsets. This interaction is aided as well by extracellular signaling molecules which both control and are controlled by the transcription factors. Ties these basic observations together with a review of research on species as diverse as Drosophila melanogaster and zebrafish.

http://www.geocities.com/sunkenciv/paleontology.html

Extractions: March 9 1999 This category contains sources that could be more tangential, but would include the great antiquity of homo sapiens and other hominids as well as other paleontological and archaeological topics. I'm not a Theosophist or follower of Theosophy, but I have no hostility toward those views even though I reject them. This category will contain conventional as well as controversial sources. I eliminated the little-used separate Archaeology page and put its two entries here (Feb 10 1999). See the new Catastrophism section in the Bookshop See the new Miscellaneous section in the Bookshop for additional titles. At a local bookstore I noticed Earth Under Fire; Humanity's Survival of the Apocalypse by Paul LaViolette . It was in the Metaphysics section. It pertained to a pre-cataclysm civilization so it looked like it might be interesting. I'll be looking for a used copy at some point in the future, but the first thing I noticed was his reference to Atlantis as a metaphor - the ice ages were ending, and there were great waves from the melting ice which were remembered as great armies invading everyone. How tiresome. Another uniformitarian take on a catastrophic event. In another chapter, in reference to the K-T boundary events, LaViolette wrote that for most of the species that perished at that point "extinction was terminal." Do tell. The dust jacket claims that the author is a scientist who made some predictions about high energy gamma rays that have since proved true. This book seems to be quite disappointing.
