摘要: Abstract Quantification of individual crown features allows maximization information retrieval from isolated hominid molars. The Lukeino specimen demonstrates phenetic affinity to Pan; the Lothagam fossil appears closer a hypothetical ancestral morphotype than Laetolil specimens. Consideration 41 metric in cladistic framework establishes Australopithecus afarensis as sister taxon Homo and later australopithecines.
