| dc.description | This volume presents this information and much more in a series of chapters describing and analyzing the various bones of the Kadanuumuu skeleton, along with its geological and paleoecological context. The descriptive chapters provide thorough and detailed images, descriptions, and functional analysis. The authors then all take a further step and provide their interpretations of the implications of their findings, which are integrated and summarized in the last chapter to provide a cohesive interpretation of the biology of Australopithecus afarensis. From this interpretation, as in the individual analytic chapters, the authors put Au. afarensis into the context of other known hominin fossils and hypothesize about what this all means for the origin of hominins and the subsequent appearance of the genus Homo. The scenario presented here builds on analyses published recently by contributors to this volume and is consistent with much of the new fossil evidence that has been recovered over the past few years. It presents an exciting new perspective on hominin origins, and many testable predictions can be – and I am sure will be – drawn from it by these and other scholars for years to come | - |
