A Chronostratigraphic and Taxonomic Framework of the Origins of Modern Humans

  • Chapter
Book cover Origins of Anatomically Modern Humans

Part of the book series: Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology ((IDCA))

Abstract

Earlier (Pliocene) hominid evolutionary history was evidently wholly confined to the African continent, so far as all available evidence demonstrates. The origins of Australopithecus, both phylogenetically and temporally, still remain obscure, but the complexity of its differentiation is manifest in the now very substantial fossil record in parts of eastern and southern sub-Saharan Africa. Several spatially and temporally delimited speciation events are appropriately recognized, particularly, but not only, on the basis of craniodental morphology.
