The discovery of the first species of African hominin,
Australopithecus africanus, from Taung, South Africa in 1924,
launched the study of fossil man in Africa. New discoveries
continue to confirm the importance of this region to our
understanding of human evolution. Outlining major developments
since Raymond Dart's description of the Taung skull and, in
particular, the impact of the pioneering work of Phillip V. Tobias,
this book will be a valuable companion for students and researchers
of human origins. It presents a summary of the current state of
palaeoanthropology, reviewing the ideas that are central to the
field, and provides a perspective on how future developments will
shape our knowledge about hominin emergence in Africa. A wide range
of key themes are covered, from the earliest fossils from Chad and
Kenya, to the origins of bipedalism and the debate about how and
where modern humans evolved and dispersed across Africa.
