Extractions: Contents Chimp or human? ... Challenging European replacement See also Paleoanthropology in CogWeb's bibliography Introduction: The Hominid Family top The terminology of our immediate biological family is currently in flux; for an overview, see a current hominoid taxonomy . The term "hominin" refers to any genus in the human tribe (Hominini), of which Homo sapiens (modern man) is the only living specimen. We don't have to go too far back into the past, however, to find relatives (cf. "We Were Not Alone," SciAm Jan 2000). Discounting abominable snowmen, yeti, bigfoot, and other merely rumored possible members of our family, we know that only 28,000 years ago Neanderthals still thrived in Europe. More surprisingly, recent evidence (see below ) suggests that a member of even longer standing, Homo erectus , who first appears in the fossil record nearly two million years ago, may have continued to inhabit the island of Java as recently as ten thousand years ago, or into historical times.
THE PALEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGY OF WEASEL CAVE
A report on a site located in Ossetia, Russia presented by Nazim Hidjrati, Larry Kimball, and Todd Koetje at the 1996 paleoanthropology meetings.
http://www.acs.appstate.edu/dept/anthro/new_orleans.html

Extractions: Dr. Todd A. Koetje tkoetje@grove.iup.edu North Ossetia is situated in the center of the Caucasian isthmus between the Caspian and the Black Seas. It is very mountainous with well-defined vertical environments situated between 100 and 5000 m AMSL. In the ancient past it attracted people due to the variety of habitats and its diversity of animal and plant life. It is generally thought that human occupation of the Caucasus began in the Acheulean (700,000 to 400,000 years ago) during the Gunz-Mindel. However, artifacts dating to ca. 1 million years ago have been discovered at Azych Cave, in Azerbaidjan, and the site of Dmanisi in Georgia is dated to ca. 1.9 mya, and contains H. erectus fossils.

KOW SWAMP: IS IT HOMO ERECTUS? PART II
paleoanthropology article about the Australian hominid fossils, with several illustrations.
http://home.twmi.rr.com/canovan/kowswamp/kowswamp.htm

Extractions: KOW SWAMP IS IT HOMO ERECTUS? PART II A COUNTERPOINT by jim vanhollebeke The title of this article is misleading. A better caption might read, "A Refutation of the Supposed Insignificance of Certain Australian Hominid Fossils". This discussion will not involve whether the Australian Kow Swamp fossils are Homo erectus. They are not and no scientists presently would say otherwise. Neither will this argument be about Kow Swamp specifically but rather what it represents: All of these fossils which will be referred to as Kow Swamp type (KS type), share archaic features reminiscent of the much earlier H.erectus. Yet they are modern in terms of age - ten to thirty thousand years ago. Other much older human fossils in Australia have shown relatively little of this archaic leaning. Scientifically, the KS types don’t seem to "fit in" with their primitive features yet recent age. They have remained as odd footnotes in the world of Paleoanthropology. That their relevance has been ignored is regrettable enough but their rejection as a late chapter to the H.erectus story is unacceptable to this writer. Accepting these fossils for what they are has been a problem for many anthropologists. Part of this problem , possibly, is the fact that the present aboriginal population in this area of the globe, to varying lesser degrees has been known to exhibit some or all of the traits that make the Kow Swamp type so controversial. This would indicate an obvious line (or lines) of descent. This is not really surprising when the age (or lack thereof) of the fossils themselves is taken into consideration. obviously the specimens now preserved do not represent the

Extractions: PALEOANTHROPOLOGY Dmanisi Dmanisi hominids To day we have recovered more than twenty hominid remains in Dmanisi. This includes three mandibles, three hominid skulls and several postcranial parts. The Dmanisi hominid remains are the first hominids discovered outside of Africa to show clear affinities to African H. ergaster rather than to more typical Asian H. erectus or to any European hominid. Mandible D-211, is different from all known Homo erectus specimens, but at the same time displays a certain similarity to several African fossils from Koobi Fora and Ileret (e.g., ER 992, and ER 730). It resembles these specimens in the general form and robustness of the jaw , in the anterior position of the ascending ramus , which includes the edge of the retromolar space; in the absence of trigonum mentale , and in some other particularities. At the same time, it differs from those specimens in some important features. In particular the molars decreased in size from M¹ to M³, P² is very small and, anterior surface of symphysis is less receding. and other features.

Extractions: Four Associated Activities of this Unit: The chicken foot reassembly. To establish the difficulties encountered reassembling fossil bones, each student is given a fresh, boiled chicken foot with the challenge that s/he clean the foot of all soft tissues, including cartilage, and reassemble the dried bones to make the original appendage. Students rapidly appreciate how much tissue is usually lost in the process of fossilization. They recognize the need to organize their bones in practical, retrievable ways, and note patterns in bone struct ure. Analyzing a geological cake. To explore the rules that govern assessment of geological sites, the class is given a layer cake to analyze. Layers are thin, many in number, varied in flavor, separated by colorful layers of icing, and interspersed with various candy "fossils." The task is to establish the chronology of events by which the cake was assembled and to justify each statement with physical evidence. Through discussion of their discovery process, students are able to establish the logical ba sis for geology's uniformitarian rules of superposition, original horizontality, inclusions, and igneous crosscutting. The activity is just goofy enough to be intriguing. Since the formal geologist's logic matches their own detective work, acceptance of the scientific norm, and even its nomenclature, is relatively easy.

http://www.asu.edu/clas/iho/field.htm

Extractions: 2003 Paleoanthropology Field School in South Africa The University of the Witwatersrand Department of Anatomical Sciences, South Africa and the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University offer a field school opportunity in paleoanthropology. The program includes course instruction in paleoecology, faunal analysis, hominid identification and excavation. There are visits to sites of important hominid fossil discoveries, such as Sterkfontein, Swartkrans, and Dremolin. The course also includes a trip to Kruger National Park as part of the paleoecology instruction. The Makapansgat Valley is the site of three million years of human evolution, including the early Australopithecus africanus assemblage at the Limeworks Cave and the Middle Pleistocene locality of the Cave of Hearths. The valley is also the home of Buffalo Cave which has yielded interesting Pleistocene fauna around 780,000 years old. For the 2003 Season the following activities are scheduled (subject to minor changes): fossil demonstrations of Taung, Sterkfontein, and Swartkrans hominids
