"Savanna -woodland chimps, unlike their rain forest brethern,
spend most of their waking time on the ground searching for
food and water. Fongoli's mix of grassland, low trees, and a
hot dry season mirrors the environment that eventually propelled
early humans to hunt and use tools." |

The Oldest Cutmarked Bones: Pliocene Hominid Faunal Exploitation at
Bouri, Ethiopia
D. DeGusta, Y. Beyene, B. Asfaw, H. Gilbert, and T. White
"A portion of the faunal remains from BOU-VP-12 bear clear signs of
hominid-induced modification, especially cutmarks produced by stone
tools. This is the earliest known evidence of such behavior. These
fossils, which are primarily from excavated in situ contexts, provide
information about the acquisition and processing of various animals by
Pliocene hominids. These data allow us to test hypotheses regarding
early hominid tool use, diet, behavior, and evolution." |
