The Discovery of Australopithecus Africanus by Raymond Dart That Changed History

On a hot day in 1924, a young Australian anatomist named Raymond Dart was sitting at his desk, steadily chipping away at a piece of rock.

In the river terraces of central China’s Hubei Province, a fossilized skull once dismissed as too crushed for meaningful analysis is now reigniting one of paleoanthropology’s most contentious debates.

Now, high-resolution scans and 3D reconstruction techniques have brought th…Anthropology · Hubei Read Article
