Science/AAAS | Special Feature: Australopithecus sediba

Science/AAAS | Special Feature: Australopithecus sediba: "Special Collection: Australopithecus sediba


The transition in human ancestry from Australopithecus, the genus that existed for 2 million years before Homo, has been enigmatic. A key fossil from near the time of this transition is Australopithecus sediba, which is represented by several specimens discovered in a cave in South Africa. Five Reports in the 9 September 2011 Science, as well as a related News Focus package and podcast interview, discuss important features of the A. sediba fossils, including some that are not well preserved in other similar hominid remains."
