Extractions: Book review by John Van Couvering Some needed no urging. Not long after news that the Afar had fossil beds dating back millions of years reached the who's who of hominid paleontology that was entrenched around Lake Turkana, Kalb and Taieb were sought out by a young professor, Yves Coppens, representing the French presence in the area, as well as by an ambitious graduate student, Donald C. Johanson from the U.S. team. Louis Leakey, who had been sidelined by illness and politics after organizing the Kenyan contingent, was also eager to know more about the Afar fossils. When Leakey and his wife, Mary, met Kalb at a congress of prehistorians at Addis Ababa in December 1971, Mary Leakey stressed the importance of Kalb's not trusting anybody when it came to hominid fossils. As it turned out, she couldn't have been more prescient. From that time onward, the action in Kalb's story quickens inexorably as it dawns on everyone that the Afar is the biggest, the most fossiliferous, and (surely) the most newsworthy of all the fabled locales in human evolution. The Afar Depression, however inaccessible a hellhole, appeared to be the one remaining place on earth that had geological potential for a paleoanthropological bonanza. (As Kalb notes, however, there's always the Sudan.)

Farlow, M. K. Brett-Surman Recommendation: Eyewitness: Fossil Paul D. Taylor, Colin Keates by TS Paleontology is the the study of earth-bound remains as a means of explaining and exploring the history of man and nature. It is the study of time's biological footprints. Paleontology is the scientific study of life-forms existing in former geological time periods. Fossils, the remains or imprint of a plant or animal preserved from prehistoric times by natural methods and found mainly in sedimentary rock, asphalt, coal, and amber, are the chief data upon which paleontological study is based. To most people paleontology means dinosaur hunting . The grandness of their existence and the mystery surrounding their extinction have made them very popular. However, while dinosaurs and dinosaur hunting is definitely a part of what a paleontologist might do, there is much more to paleontology than just dinosaurs. In fact, paleontology isn't just the study of ancient forms of life. It is also a comparative science that explores and tries to map out how various life forms changed over the millions of years in between Earth's beginning and now, and how the plants and animals we have today are related to those ancient species.

Extractions: Books about fossil hominids Extinct Humans The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Human Evolution - This illustrated encyclopedia provides a comprehensive, single volume on the evolution of the human species. Written by a team of over 70 experts in the field, it covers a huge range: genetics, primatology, and fossil origins; human biology and ecology; brain function and behaviour; and demography and disease. This text should be useful to readers within anthropology, including postgraduate and undergraduate students and professors Ape - Man - Ape-man accompanies a BBC TV series and video of the same name. As the subtitle indicates, Robin McKie's new book tells the story of human evolution, warts and all, over the last four million years or so. From a shared ancestor with the higher apes, an upright walking ape-human in Africa, McKie takes our story through the Ice Age to the domination by modern humans. Late Cenozoic Environments and Hominid Evolution - Beginning with an appreciation of the work of Bill Bishop, this volume is divided into three thematic sections: the Early Miocene of Uganda; eight papers on the Middle Miocene to Pleistocene of the Tugen Hills in Kenya; and papers on Quaternary environments in the UK.

It houses over 90,000 thousand fossil individuals this being Eastern Africa's largest fossil collection. The fossil sites in Kenya spread along the Great Rift Valley, the lake Victoria region and along the coast. Koobi Fora situated on the eastern side of Lake Turkana has yielded the highest number of fossil hominids the world over. The western side of the same lake is the home of the almost complete skeleton of the Turkana Boy a twelve year old individual from the Pleistocene who lived 1.5 million years before present. Included in this page is a new section on Paleobotany New Discovery - Kenyanthropus The Division is divided into three sections: Palaeoanthropology Vertebrate Palaeontology Preparations PALAEOANTHROPOLOGY DEPARTMENT Palaeoanthropology department is a section of palaeontology division that stores fossil materials of human ancestry. The fossil materials time span runs from 20 million years to about 10, 000 years ago. Depending on their time span they are basically categorised into three major groups; Miocene (5 - 25 million years old) with 2,600 fossils, Plio Pleistocene (0.2 - 5 million years old) with 320 fossils and Holocene (200,000 - 10,000 years ago) represented by 400 fossils. The collection is continuously expanding as more materials are brought in from the field every year.
