Sentences with phrase «from australopith»

Not exact matches

«One of our major results is that we found no evidence that the earliest members of our genus differed in body mass from earlier australopiths (some of the earliest species of hominins),» said Dr. Grabowski, who is also a Fulbright scholar at the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis at the University of Oslo.

Most disruptive of all is the suggestion that not all the species grouped within our own genus are necessarily from a single lineage — or that, perhaps, some of the species considered Homo, such as Homo habilis, are really australopiths.

Detailed morphological comparisons (google e.g. marc verhaegen human evolution) suggest IMO that South - African australopiths are more related to Homo - Pan than to Gorilla, and East - African australopiths more to Gorilla than to Homo - Pan, and that the East - Africans & the South - Africans often evolved in parallel (allopatrically A.africanus - > robustus / / A.afarensis - > boisei), from more gracile to more robust, possibly in response to the same climatic changes (e.g. Pleistocene cooling & drying).
