	Australopithecus garhi: a new-found link?
		Australopithecus anamensis, 3.9 to 4.1 ma, from Kanapoi and Allia Bay, Lake Turkana district, northwestern Kenya.
		The type specimen of Australopithecus garhi is a partial cranium; from nearby sites, and perhaps belonging to the same species or perhaps not, come several postcranial bones including a partial skeletons, a fragment of a second cranium, and two mandibles (one fairly complete).
		garhi is ancestral to Homo, either there was a rapid change in maxillary morphology in the intervening 200,000 years, or else the Bouri specimen is a late survivor of its species.

	Australopithecus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gracile australopithecines (members of the genus Australopithecus) (Latin australis "of the south", Greek pithekos "ape") are a group of extinct hominids that are closely related to humans.
		Australopithecus afarensis and Australopithecus africanus are among the most famous of the extinct hominids.
		However, Australopithecus garhi does appear to have been the most advanced of the line with its presumably older stone tool artifacts than the earliest genus homo member known so far Homo habilis.

	Australopithecus garhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australopithecus garhi is a gracile australopithecine species whose fossils were discovered in 1996 by a research team led by Ethiopian paleontologist Berhane Asfaw and including Tim White, an American paleontologist researcher.
		garhi, although more advanced than any other australopithecine, was only a competitor species to the species ancestral to Homo and therefore not a human ancestor.
		garhi fossils such as BOU-VP-12/130 are somewhat distinctive from traits typically seen in Australopithecus afarensis and Australopithecus africanus.

	Australopithecus Skull - Picture - MSN Encarta
		This Australopithecus skull was unearthed in East Africa and is dated at about 3 million years old.
		Australopithecus is first known to have lived at about 4 million years ago in what is now northern Kenya, and became extinct about 2 million years ago.
		Four species of Australopithecus are known to have existed, Australopithecus anamensis, Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus africanus, and a species discovered in Ethiopia in the 1990s, named Australopithecus garhi.

	Australopithecus garhi
		garhi remains is the size of the postcanine dentition, which is at or beyond the nonrobust australopithecine or A.
		Based on tooth size, the garhi material seems to fit well with schemes that see either one or both of africanus and afarensis as a direct human descendent, as the canine-to-premolar/molar size ratios are comparable to both species and early Homo.
		The researchers discuss the idea that garhi represents a direct ancestor of modern humans that is derived from africanus which is likely derived itself from afarensis.

	Hominid Chronology
		Australopithecus afarensis continued to roam a mixed habitat of savannah and woodland beside lakes and floodplains, foraging for fruit, seeds and nuts and maybe even some meat.
		As Australopithecus afarensis and bahrelghazali disappeared, the first hominid to replace them was Australopithecus africanus, a direct descendant of afarensis, which lasted until 2.4 million years ago.
		Garhi was probably the direct ancestor of both Homo rudolfensis and Homo habilis, but vitally, it is not yet certain if Homo rudolfensis was the ancestor of later Homo species, or if Homo habilis was.

	Paranthropus
		Paranthropus is an extinct genus of bipedal hominid that is probably descended from the Australopithecine hominids (Australopithecus).
		All species of Paranthropus were bipedal, and many lived during a time when species of the genus Homo (which were possibly descended from Australopithecus or more likely from Kenyanthropus), were prevalent.
		There is even evidence that some species of Paranthropus were using tools similar to that used in the lower paleolithic era, known as the Oldowan technology, though they were not quite as advanced as those used by Homo habilis.

		Until recently, the footprints have generally been classified as Australopithicine because that had been the only form of pre-human known to have existed in that region at that time; however, some scholars have considered reassigning them to a yet unidentified very early species of the genus Homo.
		The fossil record seems to indicate that Australopithecus is the common ancestor of the distinct group of hominids, now called Paranthropus (the "robust australopithecines"), and most likely the genus Homo which includes modern humans.
		The morphology of Australopithecus upsets what scientists previously believed, namely, that large complex brains came first and was followed by bipedalism.

	Australopithecus garhi: A New Species of Early Hominid from Ethiopia
		However, Australopithecus garhi lacks derived characters of the robust early human lineage, leaving it as a sister taxon to the gracile forms.
		garhi material shows human-like ratios for femur to humerus length (but see OH 62!) while retaining ape-like proportions for the length of the forearm to the upper arm (the brachial index).
		The link between Australopithecus garhi and the tool use is still unproved, but it is interesting to note that tool use may precede increase in brain size in early human evolution.

	Team discovers new species of hominid
		Faculty members from Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine are members of a research team which discovered a new species of human ancestor called "Australopithecus garhi." Researchers found the 2.5 million-year-old fossils in the Bouri region of the Afar Desert of Ethiopia.
		Researchers chose "garhi" because the anatomy of this species was a surprise to them.
		A striking characteristic of "A. garhi" is the unique combination of a small brain and very large and unusually proportioned teeth.

		The meaning of the word Australopithecus is "southern ape," which harkens back to the name given to the original specimen.
		The general morphology of this hominid is similar to the other australopithecines, though A. garhi has a sagittal crest and the canines are generally larger.
		These specimens have been traditionally attributed to Homo habilis, although recent investigators have alleged that the specimens should be assigned to the genus Australopithecus, because they are more similar to the australopithecines than they are to any other fossils that are classed in the genus Homo.
