Kenyanthropus platyops

Kenyanthropus platyops (Updated 8/25/03):

"2001 was a big year in paleoanthropology with the announcements of 'Millenium Man' Orrorin tugenensis and the later announcement of Kenyanthropus platyops by Meave Leakey et al. This eastern African hominid was excavated in 1998 and 1999 from Lomekwi in the Nachukui Formation, west of Lake Turkana, during fieldwork aiming to expand the knowledge of the 3-4 mya period of this region."


Really nice overview.
