内容説明
The hominid cranial remains from Koobi Fora comprise the richest available source of evidence for interpreting hominid taxonomy and phylogenetic history. This volume not only reviews the Koobi Fora evidence but includes a morphological and morphometric survey of all the other relevant Plio-Pleistocene fossil evidence for hominid evolution. These data include more than a quarter of a million measurements which are presented in detailed `reference tables'. The data, and other information presented in the monograph, are used to generate a new interpretation of the nature and relationships of early hominid species. Two new taxa of the early Homo are introduced and defined, evidence is provided to support the reintroduction of Paranthropus , and a new phylogenetic hypothesis for hominid evolution is set out. This book is intended for palaeontologists, palaeoanthropologists, biologists interested in human evolution.
