On 15 August 1959 Dr L. S. B. Leakey announced the discovery, in
the lowest level of Olduvai Gorge, of a new and beautifully
preserved fossil cranium of a hominid, which he tentatively named
Zinjanthropus boisei. For this second volume, Professor Tobias has
undertaken a definitive analysis of the cranium. This is a most
comprehensive study to be made on a hominid skull belonging to the
early and mid-Pleistocene group of australopithecines. The
fossilised skull provides a wealth of information on taxonomic
status, way of life and age at death. To evaluate Zinjanthropus
fully, the author has reviewed in detail the cranial and dental
anatomy of all australopithecines from Tanzania and South Africa
and has placed on record much valuable information about the group
as a whole.
