		Raymond Dart (February 4, 1893–22 November 1988) was an Australian anatomist and anthropologist best known for his discovery in 1924 of a fossil of Australopithecus at Taung in Northwestern South Africa.
		Dart postulated his new find to be a missing link between apes and humans because of its small brain size, but relatively human-like dentition and a probable upright posture.

		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.

		Raymond Dart was born on 4 February 1893 in Toowong, Brisbane, Australia.
		Dart moved to South Africa in 1922 and later made enormous contributions globally to the fields of physical anthropology and paleontology.
		Dart also hypothesized that Australopithecus africanus used tools made from the long bones of gazelles, antelopes and wild boar, based on further discoveries of Australopithecus africanus remains at the Makapansgat Cave in Limpopo province dating to over 1 million years ago.

	Raymond Dart
		Raymond Dart (February 4, 1893 – November 22, 1988) was an Australian anatomist and anthropologist best known for his discovery in 1924 of a fossil of Australopithecus (extinct hominids closely related to humans) at Taung in Northwestern South Africa.
		Dart's closest ally was Robert Broom whose discoveries of further australopithecines, as well as Wilfrid Le Gros Clark's support eventually vindicated Dart.
		Dart also originated the killer ape theory; although some other anthropologists, notably Robert Ardrey, defended and further developed the theory, it is still widely questioned.

		In 1923, 30-year-old neuroanatomist Raymond Dart took an assignment he dreaded: uprooting himself from University College, London — considered the world's center of medicine — to head the anatomy department at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa.
		Dart had offered modest cash prizes to students who brought him bones that would be useful in teaching his classes.
		Dart expected that acceptance of his findings would be slow, but even he was amazed at the force of the objections.

	Raymond A. Dart Biography \| World of Scientific Discovery
		Raymond Arthur Dart was born to Samuel Dart, a general store operator, and the former Eliza Anne Brimblecombe, on February 4, 1893, the fifth of nine children.
		Dart's views were immediately met with derision by the general public and adamant disagreement by many of his own colleagues, including Elliot Smith and Arthur Keith, who immediately categorized the find within the fossil family of modern gorillas and chimps.
		Dart was elected president of the Anthropological Section of the South African Association for the Advancement of Science in 1925, became dean of Witwatersand's School of Medicine in 1926, and was appointed vice president of the Anthropology Section of the British Association in 1929.

		Dart was the first to examine the skull and recognize that it represented an early stage in human evolution, although his findings were not fully accepted until the 1940s.

		He was born in Brisbane, Australia and studied at the University of Queensland, University of Sydney and University College, London, before taking a position as head of the newly established department of anatomy at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1922.
		His assertion that gazelle long-bones found in association with Australopithecus africanus were used as tools is unproven and largely dismissed, likewise his theories on war and interpersonal aggression as the driving force behind the evolution from ape to man.

	Who was Raymond Dart, M.D.,Ch.M.,M.Sc.? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It was Dart's theory on the significance of the `Taung skull' (australopithecus africanus), unearthed in 1924 at a mine on the edges of the Kalahari desert in what was then the Bechuanaland Protectorate, that made him the centre of scientific controversy.
		Dart's arguments contradicted current views that `mankind' had originally evolved in Asia, and the narrative of his vindication may be found in such publications as P.V. Tobias's Dart, Taung and the `Missing Link' (Johannesburg, 1984).
		As Dubow argues however, `the story of Dart's vindication should not be allowed to obscure the ideological context in which he operated, and of which he was undoubtedly a part' (Dubow, 45).

		Raymond Dart used one of his wife's knitting needles to prove that humans originated in Africa.
		Dart's wife had ensured what Dart referred to as his "London-cut morning clothes" were taken out of brown paper and mothballs and "that in general my normally casual appearance would be smartened up so as not to disgrace my role as best man".
		Dart had been waiting to take delivery of boxes of stone blocks containing bone fragments found by a old mine at Taung, south of Vryburg in the now North West province.

	Die Evolution des Menschen .::. Die Forscher - Raymond Dart
		Raymond Arthur Dart wurde 1893 in Queensland, Australien als fünftes von neun Kindern geboren.
		Dart brauchte über einen Monat, um genug Stein zu entfernen und um das Gesicht und den Kiefer von einem jungen fossilen Primaten, der den Spitznahmen " Kind von Taung " bekam, freizulegen.
		Dart, der nie extravagante Behauptungen scheute, schloß aus seiner Analyse der Fundstelle, daß diese Kreaturen eine sogenannte "osteodontokeratische" Kultur (Knochen, Zahn und Horn) hatten, und argumentierte, daß sie wilde Jäger und blutrünstige Mörder waren, deren gewaltsame Tendenzen sie dem menschlichen Verhalten vererbten.

		Raymond Dart was a South African physical anthropologist and paleontologist whose discoveries and scientific perspectives changed forever our understanding of the evolution of humans.
		Dart’s examination in 1924 of the Taung skull found in South Africa led to the classification of a new genus and species - Australopithecus africanus.
		Dart’s theories were later corroborated by more fossil remains, which established Africa as the site of humanity’s origins.

	Guardian \| The day the missing link turned up in the post
		Dart wished to establish an anatomical museum in his new department, and his attention was drawn to fossilised baboon skulls that were being unearthed in a lime mine at Taung in the northern Cape.
		He pointed out that the forward position of the foramen magnum, where the spinal cord attached to the skull, clearly indicated that this hominid had walked upright, with its hands free for the manipulation of tools and weapons in an open environment far to the south of the equatorial forests inhabited by chimpanzees and gorillas.
		Dart would be delighted with the expansion of his vision.

		Dart was used to finding baboon fossils in his shipment, but this was no monkey, the brain was too big and the face was too flat.
		And here was that same face that Raymond Dart had looked at sixty years before.The face is gray stone, dished in from forehead to mouth, but with a flat nose.

	Raymond Dart - Wikipédia web page internet
		Raymond Dart (4 de Fevereiro de 1893-22 de Novembro de 1988) foi um anatomista e antropologista australiano que descreveu, em 1924 uma nova espécie de hominídeo, o Australopithecus africanus, a partir dum crâneo fóssil encontrado em Taung na Bechuanalândia (antigo nome do actual Botswana).
		Dart considerou o Australopithecus africanus uma espécie nova e, possivelmente o “elo perdido” da evolução entre os símios e os seres humanos, devido ao pequeno volume do seu crâneo, mas com uma dentição relativamente próxima dos humanos e por ter provavelmente uma postura vertical.
		Raymond Dart continuou como director da Escola de Anatomia da Universide de Witwatersrand, até 1958 e, em 1959 escreveu a suas memórias, a que chamou “Aventuras com o Elo Perdido”.

		Himself a recognized authority on reptilian fossils, he wrote to Dart and asked to see 'his distinguished ancestor.' Upon arrival at Dart's home in Johannesburg, he knelt at the edge of the table with the fossil.
