Implications of New Fossil Material Attributed to Plio-Pleistocene Asian Hominidae 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

Paleontology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A paleontologist carefully chips rock from a column of dinosaur vertebrae. Paleontology (the American spelling; the British spelling is palaeontology ) is the study of the developing history of life on earth, of ancient plants and animals based on the fossil record , evidence of their existence preserved in rocks . This includes the study of body fossils , tracks, burrows, cast off parts, fossilized feces coprolites "), and chemical residues. Contents Overview Notable paleontologists Research See also ... edit Overview Modern paleontology sets ancient life in its contexts, by studying how long-term physical changes of global geography (" paleogeography ") and climate (" paleoclimate ") have affected the evolution of life, how ecosystems have responded to these changes and have changed the planetary environment in turn, and how these mutual responses have affected today's patterns of biodiversity . So paleontology overlaps with geology , the study of rocks and rock formations, and with botany biology zoology , and ecology , fields concerned with living creatures and how they interact.

Fossil Hominids Click on Image to See Enlarged Photograph (Updated Sept. 25, 1996) The specimens depicted here (no enlargement available) are lower jaws of Eosimias centennicus one of a growing number of diverse primate taxa from Eocene deposits scattered throughout eastern and central China. These minute specimens (little larger than a Lincoln head cent) have features that clearly align with the higher, anthropoid rather than lower, prosimain primates. Dated approximately 45 million years ago these and similar Chinese fossils push higher primate origins back several million years and out of Africa into Asia. The presense of primitive higher primates such as Eosimias in China 45 million years ago supports the hypothesis, as purported by Ciochon and Etler, that the split between the three major divisions of living primates (i.e. lemurs, tarsiers and anthropoids) occurred even earlier, perhaps in the late Paleocene or early Eocene (see Ciochon and Etler 1994 for details). The lower jaw depicted here, from Lufeng, Yunnan, was initially attributed to

PRIMATE TAXONOMY PRINTER FRIENDLY (PDF) Apes are no monkeys! The best way to insult a scientist working on chimpanzees is to say he/she is working with monkeys. We, humans, belong to the same family as the anthropoid (human-like) apes, also known as the "great" apes. No other animals are as close to us: at the DNA level we are 98.4 % identical to chimpanzees and bonobos. Here is a diagram of a primate evolutionary tree based on DNA comparisons. Humans ( Homo sapiens sapiens ) are classified as Hominoidae. Other members of this family are the four great apes: chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ), bonobo ( Pan paniscus ), gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla ), and orangutan ( Pongo pygmaeu s). The Hominoid family also includes the "lesser" apes: gibbons and siamangs. No other primates are called apes: they are monkeys and prosimians. The Hominoids split off from the other primates (Old World monkeys, New World monkeys, and prosimians) an estimated 23 million years ago. The latest discoveries in paleontology make early hominids look ever more ape-like thus confirming the validity of comparisons of Homo sapiens with its "living links," the extant anthropoid apes. The split between them and us is now estimated to have occurred a "mere" 6 million years ago. Whereas paleontologists tend to focus on the last 3-4 million years marked by bipedality, brain expansion, and cultural progress, the living links approach reaches back further in time so as to include the evolution of all Hominoids.

Nelson 6 March 2002 [Summary and diagram available in pdf format; see bottom of page] SOME MAJOR RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN HOMINID PALEONTOLOGY Article Summary for ENSI by Craig E. Nelson 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

window.name="NeuroKinesiology" Neurokinesiology A new path to human health Home Site Map Contact C. IPSILATERAL BIPEDALISM VS. CONTRALATERAL BIPEDALISM The human-like footprints discovered at the Laetoli site in Tanzania have led some to the conclusion that pre-humans must have already been full bipeds 3 to 3.5 million years ago. The nature of the distal end of the humerus and of the knee joint of Australopithecines, however, have directed others to a revised interpretation, namely that the bipedalism of the latter was significantly different from that of Modern Man. This point of view is shared by Stern and Susman who consider the Australopithecines as primarily arboreal creatures with a certain tendency to terrestrial life. The Australopithecus afarensis also falls into this category. Many researchers, such as Senut and Tardieu, draw our attention to the fact that it is likely that among the Australopithecines, there were more highly developed ones whose bipedalism was more engaged in the direction of the genus Homo than others. They demonstrated that one group of Australopithecines, the more terrestrial or bipedal one, presented a laxity of the elbow and a stability of the knee joint.

window.name="NeuroKinesiology" Neurokinesiology A new path to human health Home Site Map Contact A. THE AUSTRALOPITHECUS AFARENSIS Among the earliest hominids, "Lucy", an Australopithecus afarensis (AL 288-1), has been the most publicized. This is primarily so because Lucy, who was discovered in East Africa, dates back 3 million years. Also of importance is the unprecedented finding of a relatively large number of post-cranial bones at the site of the discovery. The discovery of Australopithecus afarensis remains has given us critical information on the anatomy of early hominids and provided us with a basis for comparison with Modern Man. Some controversy, however, has arisen concerning these comparisons and their meaning. The hip joint and the pelvis of the Australopithecus afarensis , for instance, have been at the center of discussions regarding the mechanical advantages and disadvantages of the size of the pelvis and femoral head in the context of bipedalism At the present time, we will only present one particular aspect of the hip joint, the neck-shaft angle (see Figure 2-1 ). The hip of the

Knowledge of the existence of fossils dates back at least to the ancient Greeks, who appear to have regarded them as the remains of various mythological creatures. Because few fossils are found in rock older than the late Precambrian era paleontology is generally concerned with only the past 600 million years. Although paleontology deals with early forms of life, it is usually treated as a part of geology rather than of biology , as the environment of the animals and plants cannot be properly understood and reconstructed without knowledge of the age, structure, and composition of the rocks in which their remains are found. In addition, fossil evidence is often used for the establishment of the ages of rock strata. Micropaleontology, the study of microscopic fossils, is especially important for the recognition of subsurface strata in drilling for petroleum. The field of paleontology is often divided into paleobotany, the study of ancient plants (also known as paleophytology); palynology, which focuses on ancient spores, pollen, and microorganisms; and paleozoology, the study of ancient animals, which can further be broken down into invertebrate (no backbones, e.g., clams) or vertebrate (with backbone, e.g., dinosaurs) studies. Paleontology as a science separate from geology dates from the 19th cent., especially from the work of French naturalist Georges
