D ubois, E ugène (1858–1940)
The Dutch anatomist Eugène Dubois discovered the fossilized skullcap, femur (thigh bone), and molar tooth of a hominin species in Java which he named Pithecanthropus erectus in 1894. These fossils are now considered as Homo erectus . They were the first human ancestor to be sought according to a deliberate plan, the first to be found in Asia, the first to be described in an explicitly evolutionary context, and the first to demonstrate that uprigh…

A Reply to Helvenston and Hodgson, and Neely
The Animal Connection and Human Evolution
A suite of unique physical and behavioral characteristics distinguishes Homo sapiens from other mammals. Three diagnostic human behaviors played key roles in human evolution: tool making, symbolic behavior and language, and the domestication of plants and animals. I focus here on a previously unrecognized fourth behavior, which I call the animal connection, that characterized the human lineage over the past 2.6 million years. I propose that the a…

Missing links
Examining the origins of various scientific fields may help to identify particular individuals whose thought, work, and discoveries have had a disproportionately large influence. Such individuals seem to serve as catalysts for a wider set of intellectual reactions, which then give rise to an entire field of study. In this paper, we propose explicit criteria for recognizing the founders of new fields. We contend that Eugène Dubois, best known as t…

Archeology
Neandertals
During the last two decades, paleoanthropology has focused increasingly on the global issue of modern human origins, and a preeminent part of that process has concerned the fate of the Neandertals of the northwestern Old World. Not so long ago, working on the origins of modern humans was a niche cloaked in convenient obscurity. Many human paleontologists were content to largely ignore, and thus remained ignorant of, the hominid fossils of the lat…

Response to R. Lee Lyman
Cannibalism in the Neolithic
Cannibalism is a provocative interpretation put forth repeatedly for practices at various prehistoric sites, yet it has been so poorly supported by objective evidence that later, more critical reviews almost invariably reject the proposal. The basic data essential to a rigorous assessment of a cannibalism hypothesis include precise contextual information, analysis of postcranial and cranial remains of humans and animals, and detailed bone modific…

Scavenging or Hunting in Early Hominids
Evidence from Bed I, Olduvai, supports the hypothesis that scavenging, not hunting, was the major meat-procurement strategy of hominids between 2 and 1.7 million years ago. Data used to evaluate the hunting and scavenging hypotheses are derived from studying cut marks on Bed I bovids, comparing adaptations necessary for scavenging with those of early hominids, and a pa-leoecological reconstruction of Bed I carcass biotnass, carnivore guild, and h…
Biological Anthropology
Burnt bones and teeth
Life History of a Fossil
Pat Shipman sets forth the taphonomic methods of analyzing how animal remains are acted upon and altered, both by biological and by geographic phenomena, in their passage from the biosphere of bones and carcass into the lithosphere of fossils. She explains the role of disease, predation, accidents, postmortem destruction, and transport in the life history of a fossil, and provides an introduction to the relevant geological concepts and to faunal …

Butchering of Giant Geladas at an Acheulian Site [and Comments and Reply]
Primate fossils from the Acheulian handaxe site at Olorgesailie, Kenya, are analyzed in an attempt to evaluate Isaac's suggestion that Locality DE/89 B preserves the remains of the hunting and butchering of giant gelada baboons. The age and sex structure of the 90 individuals suggests that attritional mortality occurred. This evidence is consistent with predation on small numbers of individuals at a time by either hominids or carnivores. A compar…

Hominid tool‐making versus carnivore scavenging
The effects of hyena scavenging on the remains of 75 animals in the Awash National Park, Ethiopia, were examined to provide a modern analogy to the fossil assemblage from Makapan. Brain's recent work ('70, '76) suggests that the actions of carnivores may account for the characteristics of the Makapan assemblage, a theory which contrasts with Dart's ('49, '55, '57, '59) interpretation of the fossils as osteodontokeratic tools and weapons manufactu…
