   Extractions: Dennis A. Etler* Introduction The recent description of fossil material attributed to an early form of Homo from Longgupo cave in Sichuan, China (Huang et al. 1995) raises new questions about the role Asia played in the evolution of the modern Hominoidea. On the one hand it refocuses attention on the fossil record of Asian Mio-Pliocene hominoids such as Sivapithecus Ramapithecus and Lufengpithecus and the role they played, if any, in human phylogenesis. On the other hand it reopens questions about early hominid dispersal patterns and the evolutionary emergence of particular hominid taxa. Longgupo, Wushan, Sichuan The Longgupo remains, which consist of a fragmentary mandible and an isolated incisor, are dated between 1.8-2.0 MYA and regarded by their Chinese discoverers and American colleagues as too primitive to be considered H. erectus (Huang et al . 1995). Wood and Turner (1995) concur, suggesting they most likely represent an early form of Homo , such as H. habilis

   Extractions: March 9 1999 This category contains sources that could be more tangential, but would include the great antiquity of homo sapiens and other hominids as well as other paleontological and archaeological topics. I'm not a Theosophist or follower of Theosophy, but I have no hostility toward those views even though I reject them. This category will contain conventional as well as controversial sources. I eliminated the little-used separate Archaeology page and put its two entries here (Feb 10 1999). See the new Catastrophism section in the Bookshop See the new Miscellaneous section in the Bookshop for additional titles. At a local bookstore I noticed Earth Under Fire; Humanity's Survival of the Apocalypse by Paul LaViolette . It was in the Metaphysics section. It pertained to a pre-cataclysm civilization so it looked like it might be interesting. I'll be looking for a used copy at some point in the future, but the first thing I noticed was his reference to Atlantis as a metaphor - the ice ages were ending, and there were great waves from the melting ice which were remembered as great armies invading everyone. How tiresome. Another uniformitarian take on a catastrophic event. In another chapter, in reference to the K-T boundary events, LaViolette wrote that for most of the species that perished at that point "extinction was terminal." Do tell. The dust jacket claims that the author is a scientist who made some predictions about high energy gamma rays that have since proved true. This book seems to be quite disappointing.

   Extractions: DINO LAND TRAVELS IN PALEONTOLOGY LUNGAMENTE VIVE IL DINOSAURIO IN ITALIA By Steve Brusatte Italy's first dinosaur discovery-Scipionyx, the amazing little theropod with organ imprints! Lungamente vive il dinosaurio il Italia? For those of you who understand Italian, you realize that this means "long live the dinosaur in Italy." How can this be? The boot country’s first reported dinosaur discovery in its long history was announced earlier this year, and its second was just found in Trieste, a city near the Yugoslav border. Despite the fact that the history gluttoned Italians boast only two dinosaur discoveries (although the first, Scipionyx, is complete with rare organ imprints) they love the terrible lizards-and paleontology in general, that is. This last July I had the exciting opportunity to visit Italy. My parents were married 20 years ago, in 1979, and for an encore of their original European honeymoon they planned a trip to Spain. This fell through, which worked out for the better, as we were able to travel to the land of our cultural heritage-Italy. From the second I heard about the trip I was destined to make the anniversary trip-which I was lucky to be taken along on-into a full-fledged paleontological extravaganza! Although I didn’t get to accomplish every goal, the trip provided a worthwhile experience in paleontology! On July 15 my family and I left Chicago’s O’Hare Airport (where, by the way, you are able to view a cast of the Field Museum’s Albertosaurus skull if you are lucky enough to maze through the busy crowds and long lines to find it). 8 hours later we landed in Zurich, Switzerland. In our one day in Zurich I decided not to drag my family to any dinosaur exhibits, but instead to wait a bit, for a few days, until we reached Florence. Instead, the wait lasted much shorter than I expected, and it was my father, not me, who noticed the first paleontological hot spot.

   Extractions: This (by no means comprehensive!) list chronicles some of the major events in the history of paleontology and biology. Other significant events appear in purple type. 610-425 BC-Philosophers Thales, Anaximander, Pythagoras, Xenophanes and Herodotus propose that marine fossils found inland lived in the sea, and that the now dry land was once underwater. This correct supposition will be forgotten for centuries. c.400 BC-Herodotus relates the griffin myth. (The myth is probably inspired by Protoceratops and Psittacosaurus remains.) c.78-Pliny the Elder publishes a 37-volume natural history encyclopedia. Containing both accurate and inaccurate information, it will become the basis of many scientific disciplines. 150-The physician Galen travels from Turkey to Alexandria to study anatomy. Galen will establish the concept of humors (phlegm, blood, black bile and yellow bile) that determine both health and personality. Belief in these four humors will dominate medicine and biology for many centuries. c.180-Pausanias records a description of the skeleton of the hero Ajax. (It is probably a fossil mastodon or rhinoceros.)

    Extractions: (Updated Sept. 25, 1996) The specimens depicted here (no enlargement available) are lower jaws of Eosimias centennicus one of a growing number of diverse primate taxa from Eocene deposits scattered throughout eastern and central China. These minute specimens (little larger than a Lincoln head cent) have features that clearly align with the higher, anthropoid rather than lower, prosimain primates. Dated approximately 45 million years ago these and similar Chinese fossils push higher primate origins back several million years and out of Africa into Asia. The presense of primitive higher primates such as Eosimias in China 45 million years ago supports the hypothesis, as purported by Ciochon and Etler, that the split between the three major divisions of living primates (i.e. lemurs, tarsiers and anthropoids) occurred even earlier, perhaps in the late Paleocene or early Eocene (see Ciochon and Etler 1994 for details).

From this result, they reason that because previous estimates for apparently smaller crania are similar to or higher than that for Stw 505, the necessary downward readjustment of these capacities would require a reevaluation of early hominid brain evolution. We would like to revisit Stw 505 itself.

    Extractions: Fossils May Be Earliest Human Link By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD New York Times Fossil fragments classified as Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba at the National Museum of Ethiopia. The hand at the bottom right holds a fragment of collar- bone. Scientists say the presence of primitive dental and bone characteristics in the fossils indicates that the species might be the ancestor of both chimpanzees and humans. In Ethiopian fossil hunter has found the bones and teeth of forest- dwelling creatures who lived as much as 5.8 million years ago, a discovery that appears to challenge some assumptions of early human evolution and extend knowledge of the family tree back close to its roots. The fossils are the remains of creatures who apparently walked upright. They are more than one million years older than any other fossils definitively established as those of hominids, the group of species that includes humans, their direct ancestors and close relatives. The new find, described in today's issue of the journal Nature, is especially intriguing to paleontologists because the bones appear to be so primitive and apelike and their ages, 5.2 million to 5.8 million years old, put them close to the fateful evolutionary split between the lineage leading to modern humans and the one that produced chimpanzees. Molecular biological studies indicate that the divergence occurred 5.5 million to 6.5 million years ago.

    Extractions: 6 March 2002 In the last two years, several new discoveries have been announced, and some described, that radically increase the Hominid materials available from Africa from 3.3 to 6 million years ago. These were summarized, with comments by many of the key workers, by Ann Gibbons ["Becoming Human: In Search of the First Hominids ." Science . 15 Feb. 2002. = vol 295, p. 1214-1219.] Gibbons' article includes a nice time-line, a map of the localities and figures of some of the key fossils. The following material is summarized, paraphrased and quoted from Gibbon's article. Six points deserve special emphasis: It has commonly been thought that bipedal posture may have evolved as a response to more open habitats produced by climatic drying. However

Permalink Comments (0) Related Entries Email this entry One of the most exciting lines of research in evolution today is how parasites have become so good at making us sick. A case in point appears in the latest issue of Genome Biology (full text of paper here ). It appears that parasites have stolen one of our best lines of defense and now use it against us. When bacteria or other pathogens try to invade our bodies, we marshall an awesome system of biochemistry to ward them off. Recently, a group of French and German molecular biologists took a look at a key piece of that system, a molecule studding the surface of our cells called alpha-2-macroglobulin. Parasites penetrate a host cell by releasing enzymes that can punch a hole through the cell wall. But alpha-2-macroglobulin can snag these enzymes before they do damage, tucking them away in a cage where they can be destroyed. It is now clear that the common ancestor of all animals on Earth evolved an ancestral version of alpha-2-macroglobulin, which was then passed down and gradually altered over a billion years of animal evolution. But the European researchers found some surprises as they hauled up their genomic nets. They found many versions of the alpha-2-macroglobulin gene in bacteria as well. Not in all bacteria, mind you, but in a wide range of species, most of which live inside animals. When the researchers looked at a family tree of bacteria, the ones carrying versions of alpha-2-macroglobulin were scattered across its branches. In many cases, their closest relatives lacked the gene.
