| Research Abstract |
In this study we conducted field research at the Chorora Formation sites(Ethiopia) resulting in the recovery of further Chororapithecus fossils. We also advanced our analysis and interpretations of the Ardipithecus ramidus fossils. Finally, we revised the Konso Formation chronostratigrpahy of the early Acheulean sites and conducted stable isotope analysis of the Konso Formation fauna.
