Topic: Ardipithecus kadabba


In the News (Fri 1 Jan 10)

  
  Ardipithecus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ardipithecus is a very early hominid genus (subfamily Homininae).
Ardipithecus lived 4.4 million years ago in the early Pliocene.
kadabba is believed to be the earliest organism yet identified that lies in the human line following its split from the lineage that gave rise to the two modern chimpanzee species.

 Ardipithecus ramidus - Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre et gratuite
Ardipithecus ramidus possède de nombreux traits simiesques (en particulier sa dentition, étudiée dès la première découverte), mais pouvait peut-être marcher debout sur ses membres inférieurs comme les hommes (sa bipédie ancienne en ferait une étape paléontologique majeure).
Ardipithecus ramidus pourrait alors être plutôt rattaché à Australopithecus.
A l'opposé, certains paléoanthropologues proposent de regrouper Ardipithecus ramidus avec Ardipithecus kadabba en une seule espèce Ardipithecus kadabba ramidus.

It is reported that the bones of Ardipithecus were actually from "11 hominid specimens (which) have been recovered at 5 localities- since 1997." The toe bone, on the other hand, was found in 1999 and is listed.6 million years younger than all the other bones.
Kadabba in Ethiopia, can not disclose information regarding the lifestyle of a living being is stated by anthropologists in their scientific publications.
Kadabba fossil, proclaimed in the evolutionist press as the "explicit evidence of evolution" and propagated with the catchy slogans such as "the ancestor of man", " the lost component of human evolution", have no scientific value or reliability.

While Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba is not the sought-after "Missing Link"—the yet-undiscovered creature that lived at the cusp of the evolutionary division between man and chimp—researcher Haile-Selassie said the hominid certainly is very close to the branching point.
Haile-Selassie believes Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba was about the size of a modern-day chimpanzee and about 20 percent larger than the "Lucy" specimen.
Because neither the skull nor intact limb bones of Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba have been found, however, an artists’ rendition of the creature is impossible at this time.

Ardipithecus kadabba est le nom donné à un hominidé âgé de 5,2 à 5,8 millions d'années.
Pendant un temps, à cause du faible nombre de restes retrouvés, l'Ardipithecus kadabba est resté considéré comme appartenant à la même espèce que Ardipithecus ramidus.

He is Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba, and at 5.6 million years old, a true ancient of our days.
Kadabba, means 'forefather' in Afar, the language spoken in the Middle Awash.
kadabba's premolar is not as ferocious as an ape's, but it shows some halfhearted honing-as if he were loath to return to an old skill.

I reperti infatti sono stati estratti da depositi di roccia vulcanica datata con il metodo Argo/Argo tra i 5,54 e i 5,77 milioni di anni, mentre la specie Ardipithecus ramidus viene datata a 4,4 milioni di anni fa: ecco perché l' Ardipithecus kadabba può essere considerata specie ben distinta.
L' Ardipithecus kadabba mostra la postura eretta e la dimensione di un odierno scimpanzé; possiede lunghi canini usati probabilmente utili per combattere, come ancora oggi fanno molte scimmie.
Altri ritrovamenti, però, sono datati allo stesso periodo del kadabba: il Sahelanthropus tchadensis, ritrovato nel 2002 in Ciad, e l' Orrorin tugenensis, scoperto in Kenya nel 2001.

Fossil remains of the early hominid were found in Ethiopia three years ago, and it seemed to be a subspecies of a known pre-human, Ardipithecus ramidus.
But the scientists have found more teeth from a group of the hominid, re-classified it as a distinct species and named it Ardipithecus kadabba.
"Ardipithecus kadabba may also represent the first species on the human branch of the family tree just after the evolutionary split between lines leading to modern chimpanzees and humans," said Yohannes Haile-Selassie, curator and head of physical anthropology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in Ohio, who led the study.

De nieuwe fossielen – zes tanden – leveren genoeg bewijs voor de stelling dat het hier toch om een aparte soort gaat, dus Ardipithecus kadabba in plaats van een subsoort Ardipithecus ramidus.
“Ardipithecus kadabba zou wel eens de eerste soort kunnen zijn op de menselijke lijn na de evolutionaire afscheiding van de lijnen die naar de moderne chimpansees en die die naar de mens leiden,” zei Yohannes Haile-Selassie, curator en hoofd van de afdeling fysieke antropologie van het museum in Cleveland.

But with more discoveries and closer study, especially of the teeth, the scientists decided that the kadabba fossils from five individuals were distinctive enough to qualify as a separate species: Ardipithecus kadabba.
In that case, the scientists added, kadabba was not a subspecies, but probably the direct ancestor of ramidus.
The kadabba fossils were found in the Middle Awash valley about 180 miles northeast of Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital.

Ardipithecus kadabba, a short, small-brained hominid, did not have the long teeth found in chimpanzees.
The researchers believe this feature and the animal's age means it was possibly the first species after the evolutionary split in the lineage that led to modern chimpanzees and humans.
In a 2001 report, these bones and teeth were assigned to a subspecies of another known pre-human, Ardipithecus ramidus.

Kadabba was the earliest species of its genus and may represent the first species on the human brand of the family tree just after the evolutionary split between leading to modern chimpanzees and human.
The new fossil teeth of Ardipithecus Kadabba were recovered during the 2002 field season at a place know as asa Koma ("Red Hill") along the western margin of the Middle Awash study area, about 180 miles (290 kms) northeast of Addis Ababa.

kadabba is an extinct species of ape is manifest.
The reason for this is evident: Although there are 120 species of ape living today, it is estimated that this number rises to 6,000 when all extinct species are added to it.

In a normal chewing stroke, the chimp's third premolar would rub against the back and inside of the upper canine, sharpening the edge on the upper canine and smoothly polishing the outer surface of the lower third premolar.
kadabba shows an intermediate state with a slight contact between the upper canine and the lower premolar teeth, indicating that this hominid is related to chimpanzees but has started to evolve toward modern humans.

By speaking of the 5.8 million years old Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba and the 6 million years old Orrorin tugenensis fossils as hominid, he portrays these finds as if evidence for evolution.
The evolutionist claims about the Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba fossil had made the cover of the Time magazine but soon thereafter these claims were disproved by renowned scientist John Mastropaolo's detailed analysis.
Some 95% of the skeleton was missing, yet evolutionists were still able to come up with the totally unrealistic idea that it could supposedly be seen from this toe that this creature was capable of walking on two legs, which shows in turn that man and apes evolved from a common ancestor.

 07.11.2001 - UC Berkeley paleoanthropologists find oldest hominid
They suggest, instead, that all known earliest hominids derived from relatively wet and wooded environments and did not venture into more open savanna settings until after 4.4 million years ago — about the time Australopithecus made its appearance and long after hominids and chimpanzees split from their common ancestor.
About 6 million years ago, the Middle Awash region was a well-defined rift valley characterized by intense earth movements, with active volcanoes erupting from major fractures and individual centers.
The forested upland where Ardipithecus lived was up to 1,500 meters higher in elevation, and cooler, wetter, and more forested.

O Ardipithecus ramidus είναι λίγο νεότερος από αυτό το είδος.
Το Ardipithecus μπορεί επομένως να αντιπροσωπεύσει ένα αρχικό βήμα στην εξελικτική πορεία που οδήγησε στους σύγχρονους ανθρώπους, καθώς επίσης και σε διάφορα άλλα είδη ανθρωποειδών που έχουν εκλείψει.

In this presentation he compares a couple toe bones from a 5.4 mya Ardipithecus kadabba to that of a modern human, a modern chimp, and a modern baboon, and he finds that there's hardly any similarity at all between Ardipithecus and humans, chimps, or baboons.
In other words, Ardipithecus is thought to be related to Australopithecus because of the dental ratios and by the cranial shape.
And he concludes that Ardipithecus' relation to humans is thus a "farfetched speculation".
