| dc.description.abstract | The lower Awash Valley of Ethiopia preserves a significant record of Australopithecus afarensis at Hadar and Dikika in addition to the earliest fossil yet attributed to Homo from Ledi-Geraru at 2.8 Ma. However, understanding the context of the extinction of A. afarensis and the origin of Homo is hampered by the limited preservation of sediments between 2.9 – 2.3 Ma in the region. The Mille-Logya Project (MLP) preserves fossiliferous sediments post-dating 2.9 Ma. Here we present a quantitative analysis of the MLP mammalian fauna and explore implications of MLP faunal change for the origin of Homo. | |
