摘要
New anatomical data strengthen the allocation of the Lothagam mandible to the family Hominidae, most similar among known hominids to Australopithecus afarensis. New biostratigraphic analyses of Lothagam Suidae, coupled with data from the Tugen Hills succession, suggest that the Lothagam hominid is older than 5·6 Ma, and is therefore the earliest known member of this taxon. © 1992.
