摘要：

In 1925, when Dart described Australopithecus africanus as a hominid, critics interpreted it as a juvenile gorilla. Last year, Wolpoff's colleagues (B.S. and M.P.) claimed that their Kenyan fossil Orrorin was a direct ancestor of Homo, and now Wolpoff et al. conclude that Sahelanthropus was an ape (specifically, a female gorilla ancestor) – a belief that, to our knowledge, is not supported by published or unpublished data. © 2002 Nature Publishing Group.
