Biographies: Raymond Dart |
 | | Raymond Arthur Dart was born in Queensland, Australia, in 1893, the fifth of nine children to parents who lived on a bush farm raising cattle. |
 | | Dart, never one to shy away from extravagant claims, also concluded from his analysis of the site that these creatures had had what he called an "osteodontokeratic" (bone, tooth and horn) culture, and argued that they were savage hunters and bloodthirsty killers whose violent tendencies had left their mark in human behavior. |
 | | Dart lived to see the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the Taung child, and died in 1988 at the age of 95. |
