Becoming human
1. Zeresenay Alemseged was a post doctoral fellow here at ASU in the Institute of Human Origins for many years. What did he find in Ethiopia? What did he call it?

3. Don Johansen from ASU Institute of Human Origin found what fossil? What anatomical part did he find immediately that told him it was bipedal?
4. What is the most striking thing about hominin brains for the first 4 million years of human evolution?
5. Why does Ralph Hollow (Dr Hill’s graduate advisor at Columbia University) think that Australopithecines were smarter than apes even though their brains are about the same size?
6. For half a million years after A. afarensis goes extinct (2.95-2.5 ma) there are no real hominin fossils in east Africa. Then what is a major discovery at 2.5 ma that suggests a big change in the character of hominins?
