A fossilized human mandibular fragment from Kangatotha, Kenya, East Africa

Working west of Lake Rudolf in 1965 Professor Bryan Patterson found at Kangatotha, among other human specimens yet to be described, a fragment of the corpus of a human mandible bearing three molar teeth. Its C-14 date is 2835 B.C . The mandible is stout, heavily mineralized, and closely similar to others from Ishango on the west shore of Lake Edward found by de Heinzelin earlier. The three teeth are large and also similar to those from Ishango. Cranial and postcranial bones of the Ishango people show them to have been Negroes, and the jaws and teeth fit the same classification. The individual from Kangatotha was also indubitably a Negro.     

A newly-discovered population ofColobus angolensis in East Africa

A very isolated population ofColobus angolensis has been newly discovered in Tanzania. The monkey has white, long epaulettes and cheek hair, but no white pygal band. Its tail has somewhat of a brushy tip, and is grey in color. This may very well be a heretofore undescribed, and distinct subspecies.
