Australopithecus garhi: a new species of early hominid from Ethiopia.
TLDR
Discovery of 2.5 Ma hominid cranial and dental remains from the Hata beds of Ethiopia's Middle Awash allows recognition of a new species of Australopithecus, descended from Australipithecus afarensis and is a candidate ancestor for early Homo.

Ardipithecus ramidus and the Paleobiology of Early Hominids
TLDR
Ardipithecus ramidus indicates that despite the genetic similarities of living humans and chimpanzees, the ancestor the authors last shared probably differed substantially from any extant African ape.

Pleistocene Homo sapiens from Middle Awash, Ethiopia
TLDR
Fossilized hominid crania from Herto, Middle Awash, Ethiopia are described and provide crucial evidence on the location, timing and contextual circumstances of the emergence of Homo sapiens.

The characteristics and chronology of the earliest Acheulean at Konso, Ethiopia
TLDR
A newly established chronometric calibration is provided for the Acheulean assemblages of the Konso Formation, southern Ethiopia, which span the time period ∼1.75 to <1.0 Ma, paralleling the emergence of Homo erectus-like hominid morphology.

Australopithecus ramidus, a new species of early hominid from Aramis, Ethiopia
TLDR
As ramidus is likely to be the sister taxon of the remaining hominid clade, generic separation from Australopithecus is appropriate.

Combining Prehension and Propulsion: The Foot of Ardipithecus ramidus
TLDR
The last common ancestor of hominids and chimpanzees was therefore a careful climber that retained adaptations to above-branch plantigrady and would thus have been unique among known primates.

The earliest Acheulean from Konso-Gardula
KONSO-GARDULA is a palaeoanthropological area discovered by the 1991 Palaeoanthropological Inventory of Ethiopia1–5 in the southern Main Ethiopian Rift. The Konso-Gardula sediments span the period…

A new species of great ape from the late Miocene epoch in Ethiopia
TLDR
The combined evidence suggests that Chororapithecus may be a basal member of the gorilla clade, and that the latter exhibited some amount of adaptive and phyletic diversity at around 10–11 Myr ago.

The Pelvis and Femur of Ardipithecus ramidus: The Emergence of Upright Walking
TLDR
The femur and pelvis of Ardipithecus ramidus have characters indicative of both upright bipedal walking and movement in trees, and they therefore bear little or no functional relationship to the highly derived suspension, vertical climbing, knuckle-walking and facultative bipedality of extant African apes.

Careful Climbing in the Miocene: The Forelimbs of Ardipithecus ramidus and Humans Are Primitive
The Ardipithecus ramidus hand and wrist exhibit none of the derived mechanisms that restrict motion in extant great apes and are reminiscent of those of Miocene apes, such as Proconsul. The capitate…
