Reconstruction, endocranial form and taxonomic affinity of the early Homo calvaria KNM-ER 42700
Faunal Change in the Turkana Basin during the Late Oligocene and Miocene
Faunal evolution over the last 65 million years of earth's history was dominated by mammalian radiations, but much of this era is poorly represented in Africa. Mammals first appeared early in the Mesozoic, living alongside dinosaurs for millions of years, but it was not until the extinction of dinosaurs 65 myr ago that the first major explosion of mammalian taxa took place. The Cenozoic (65 Ma to Recent) witnessed repeated and dynamic events invo…
The Turkana Basin
Over the past four decades, research in the Omo-Turkana Basin of southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya has had an extraordinary impact on our understanding of primate and human evolution. This Special Issue of Evolutionary Anthropology contains authoritative reviews summarizing much of this research. The issue begins with a foreword by Richard Leakey, who first brought the Turkana Basin region into the paleoanthropological spotlight with his disco…
The Omo‐Turkana Basin Fossil Hominins and Their Contribution to Our Understanding of Human Evolution in Africa
The Omo‐Turkana Basin, including the hominin fossil sites around Lake Turkana and the sites along the lower reaches of the Omo River, has made and continues to make an important contribution to improving our murky understanding of human evolution. This review highlights the various ways the Omo‐Turkana Basin fossil record has contributed to, and continues to challenge, interpretations of human evolution. Despite many diagrams that look suspicious…

Early Pleistocene Mammals of Africa
New cercopithecoids and a hominoid from 12·5Ma in the Tugen Hills succession, Kenya
The new hominid speciesAustralopithecus anamensis
Australopithecus anamensis1 is the earliest species of this genus to have been found. Fossils attributed to A. anamensis have been recovered from sediments dating to between 3.8 and 4.2 mya at the sites of Kanapoi and Allia Bay in northern Kenya. A. anamensis is still poorly known in comparison with other early hominid species, but the material discovered so far displays primitive features along with more derived characteristics typical of later …
Climatic effects on dental development ofTheropithecus oswaldi from Koobi Fora and Olorgesailie
Absence of the subarcuate fossa in cercopithecids
Four‐million‐year‐Old hominids from East Lake Turkana, Kenya
A piece of mandible and several isolated teeth are reported from fluviatile sediments older than 4 million years at East Lake Turkana. They most closely resemble hominids from Laetoli, Tanzania and Hadar, Ethiopia which have been assigned to Australopithecus afarensis . © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc
A note on the reported occurrence of very early Homo from West Lake Turkana, Kenya
