Early Hominin Paleoenvironments and Habitat Heterogeneity
Environmental changes are often cited as the main driver of hominin evolutionary events, including major adaptive events such as bipedalism. Thus, researchers are particularly interested in the paleoenvironment of early hominins. The previous prevailing idea that hominins originated in expanding savannas is contradicted by the association of the earliest hominins with more closed and mesic (i.e., moderately wet) habitats. The Pliocene homi-nins t…
Paleoecology of Laetoli, Tanzania
Laetoli in northern Tanzania is one of the most important paleontological and paleoanthropological sites in eastern Africa. Fossils were first discovered in the area in the 1930s, but its significance for hominin evolution was only appreciated after Mary Leakey’s research began in the 1970s (Leakey and Harris, 1987). The site has yielded fossil hominins from the Upper Laetolil Beds (referred to as ULB; dated to 3.6–3.85 Ma), Upper Ndolanya Beds (…
Mosaic habitats at Woranso-Mille (Ethiopia) during the Pliocene and implications for Australopithecus paleoecology and taxonomic diversity
Mesopithecus pentelicus from Zhaotong, China, the easternmost representative of a widespread Miocene cercopithecoid species
A dentate mandible and proximal femur of Mesopithecus pentelicusWagner, 1839 are described from the Shuitangba lignite mine in Zhaotong Prefecture, northeastern Yunnan Province, China. The remains were retrieved from sediments just below those that yielded a juvenile Lufengpithecus cranium and are dated at about ∼6.4 Ma. The mandible and proximal femur were found in close proximity and are probably of the same individual. The lower teeth are metr…

Macrovertebrate Paleontology and the Pliocene Habitat of Ardipithecus ramidus
A diverse assemblage of large mammals is spatially and stratigraphically associated with Ardipithecus ramidus at Aramis. The most common species are tragelaphine antelope and colobine monkeys. Analyses of their postcranial remains situate them in a closed habitat. Assessment of dental mesowear, microwear, and stable isotopes from these and a wider range of abundant associated larger mammals indicates that the local habitat at Aramis was predomina…
