Journal Article
Evolutionary insights from Australopithecus
2019
Overview
The comfortable habitats favoured by African chimpanzees and gorillas in Dart's time were more than 3,200 kilometres north of where the Taung Child dwelled, and Dart suggested in his 1925 Nature paper that intense competition for limited resources in harsh southern African landscapes \"furnished a laboratory such as was essential to this penultimate phase of human evolution\". Dart's 1925 Nature paper describes two endocast brain grooves, but his book identifies 14 further grooves, and describes 3 dispersed brain regions that look expanded in comparison with those of ape brains. Homo floresiensis had ape-like, Australopithecus-like and human-like traits, as well as a tiny brain, leading some to suggest that this species might be a lineage descended from a previously unknown early hominin migration out of Africa11.
