Ardipithecus Ramidus
Australopithecus Anamensis
Mary Leakey was the first person to find this type of species in 1959.
Most of these remains have been found spread over East Africa(1).
The Australopithecus robustus and the Australopithecus boisei are
very similar to each other and are thought to have descended from
the Australopithecus aethiopicus.
aethiopicus. Other scientists believe that the
Australopithecus robustus evolved from Australopithecus africanus
instead(2). The distinct characteristics of this species are its very
large teeth as well as its thickened skull. This find was very
important in the history of paleontology for it cleared up many
questions on Milford Wilpoff's hypothesis called the "Single Species
Hypothesis". This idea states that every niche in nature can only
support one species. When more than one species occupies a specific
niche competition arises until one species completely overpowers the
other(3). Wilpoff believed that if different hominids came into
contact with each other in the wild they would naturally start to act
like each other; therefore, not be able to occupy the same niche. The
results of this situation would vary where either one of the species
would be overpowered, or new species would not be able to evolve
due to the competition. In response to this hypothesis it was believed
that single sexual dimorphism occurred, with Australopithecus
robustus being the male sex and Australopithecus africanus being
the female sex. When both a male and female Australopithecus
boisei were discovered from the same location in the same time
period it proved that it was a separate species and put Wilpoff's
hypothesis into question(1). One distinct difference that set the
Australopithecus boisei apart from previous species was its massive
jaws. The teeth in the back were very large as compared to its front
canines, which were quite small. The surfaces of these back teeth
were also very worn, which gave clues that this species ate coarse
food and used these large back teeth to grind. With such large jaws
one would think that the jaw region would protrude, but actually it
was tucked in. This formation provided a very powerful vertical
bite(3) not seen before.

The Evolution ?
Ardipithecus ramidus
Ardipithecus ramidus is the earliest hominid found so
far and was discovered in Aramis, in the Middle
Awash region of Ethiopia in 1994 by Tim White and
his two colleagues, Gen Suwa and Berhane Asfaw.
Ardipithecus ramidus translates literally as "ground
man-root" and is thought to be 4.4 to 4.5 million
years old. Originally it was named as a member of the
Australopithecine family, but it was later decided that
this species differed too much from other
australopithecines and was not an ancestor.

Australopithecus anamensis
Cont
The Kanapoi fossils have been dated at 4.2 million years and
those at Allia Bay at 3.9 million years. The dentition is less
apelike than in Ardipithecus ramidus, having thick enamel on
the molar teeth but relatively large canines. The tibia implies
that anamensis was larger than ramidus and afarensis, with an
estimated weight of 46 to 55 kilograms; its humanlike
anatomy implies that anamensis was bipedal in posture and
locomotion. Although distinct from Australopithecus
afarensis, its discoveres claim that Australopithecus
anamensis resembles the Laetoli fossils more than those found
in Hadar. The discovery of this species pushed bipedal
walking back half a million years. Facially this species
resembles afarensis a lot, it is very apelike.

Sebelum pendudukan bangsa Mongoloid IndoMalaysia, Asia Tenggara telah dihuni oleh populasi
Australo-Melanesia.
Bangsa Mongoloid Indo-Malaysia ini berasal dari
kawasan utara.
Walau bagaimanapun berdasarkan kepada rangka
manusia tidak ada bukti penggantian secara tegas.
Oleh itu mungkin berlakunya perkahwinan campuran
dan evolusi setempat.

Antara tapak di Asia Tenggara ialah:
Gua Niah
Gua Cha
Gua Tabon dan beberapa tapak timbunan sampah

Contoh bukti yang paling baik ialah di Gua Niah
kerana ditemui rangkaian rangka-rangka yang

Kesimpulan Bellwood untuk merungkai
permasalahan ini, kita kena merujuk
perkembangan di Indonesia.
Tapak Wadjak di Jawa Timur
: dijumpai 2 tengkorak pada tahun 1888 dan
1890 dari satu batu lindungan tapi telah
hancur.
: dating terhadap tulang manusia ialah 6500
