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