This volume describes a 3.6 million-years-old partial skeleton of
Australopithecus afarensis from the Woranso-Mille, central Afar,
Ethiopia. This specimen is the first adult partial skeleton to be
recovered since Lucy's (A.L. 288-1) discovery in 1974. It is older
than Lucy by 400,000 years and sheds light on the paleobiology of
early Australopithecus afarensis, particularly the morphology of
the shoulder girdle and thoracic shape, which are thus far poorly
understood and actively debated. The fauna associated with the
partial skeleton tells us enormously about Au. afarensis
paleoecology and give us another piece of the puzzle regarding
habitat availability and use for Au. afarensis outside the Hadar
region where it has been well-known for the last four decades.
