This volume 1 and its companion volume 2 present the results of new
investigations into the geology, paleontology and paleoecology of
the early hominin site of Laetoli in northern Tanzania. The site is
one of the most important paleontological and paleoanthropological
sites in Africa, worldrenowned for the discovery of fossils of the
early hominin Australopithecus afarensis, as well as remarkable
trails of its footprints. The first volume provides new evidence on
the geology, geochronology, ecology, ecomorphology and taphonomy of
the site. The second volume describes newly discovered fossil
hominins from Laetoli, belonging to Australopithecus afarensis and
Paranthropus aethiopicus, and presents detailed information on the
systematics and paleobiology of the diverse associated fauna.
Together, these contributions provide one of the most comprehensive
accounts of a fossil hominin site, and they offer important new
insights into the early stages of human evolution and its context.
