A New Species of The Genus Homo From Olduvai Gorge
The new material found in 1963 makes it possible to draw conclusions and to give a diagnosis for a new species of the genus Homo, as shown in this article.

Sterkfontein member 2 foot bones of the oldest South African hominid.
Four articulating hominid foot bones have been recovered from Sterkfontein Member 2, near Johannesburg, South Africa, and provides the first evidence that bipedal hominids were in southern Africa more than 3.0 million years ago.

The ESR dating of tooth enamel can be applied to sites with ages > 2 Ma, as long as the radiation dose rate is sufficiently low, and Alpha-spectrometric U-series analyses of one of the teeth suggests that U was continuously absorbed by the teeth during their burial history.

Advanced digital image processing (DIP) of hip bone radiographs has revealed that adolescent and adult South African australopithecines retained an incompletely developed human-like trabecular pattern associated with gait-related features that are unique among the extant primates.

The new find supports the view that the Sterkfontein toolmaker was not the earlier A. africanus, but a later hominid related to Homo habilis, and is establishing indisputably the provenance of the specimen.
