The Paleobiology of Australopithecus
Reed, Kaye E.
The Paleobiology of Australopithecus edited by Kaye E. Reed, John G. Fleagle, Richard E. Leakey. - Dordrecht, Netherlands Springer 2013 - 1 recurso en línea (XIII, 282 páginas) 92 ilustraciones, 69 ilustraciones en color - Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology 1877-9077 .
Part 1:Âological and Paleontological Context -- Part 2:Âtes and Species -- Part 3: Biogeography -- Part 4:ÂСleobiology.
Australopithecus species have been the topic of much debate in palaeoanthropology since Raymond Dart described the first species, Australopithecus africanus, in 1925.This volume synthesizes the geological and paleontological context of the species in East and South Africa, covers individual sites, such as Dikika, Hadar, Sterkfontein, and Malapa, debates the alpha taxonomy of some of the species, and addresses questions of the movements of the species across the continent.Âditional chapters discuss the genus in terms of sexual dimorphism, diet reconstruction â€ing microwear and isotopic methodologies, postural and locomotor behavior, and ontogeny.
