This needs to be reloaded. Twice the audio cut out completely. Osteodontokeratic. Going to have to remember that one. Always wondered about that scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey. They touch the obelisk, come to fight the other tribe? Come back? Or is it imagined?... I don't remember. What I do remember, he smashes the bones with the other bone, throws his bone tool into the air, its arc peaks... and suddenly it's a space station! Powerful scene. Yet I always wondered if that post-ape/protoman would have had fur that was that dark.

That one tooth was worn all the way to the jaw! Or it died with a (3rd set?) tooth erupting, but it looked worn, just like the others, down to the dentin!

Does Professor Berger believe that australopithecines were, in fact, not violent at all, or simply that Dart’s theory about the specific bone tool culture was used exclusively for weaponry? It is possible that groups of australopithecines fought each other, correct?

I was asking myself the same thing. I think he mainly means that the particular finds were not a tool culture. He must be aware of the evidence of quite "human-like" violence in chimps , so I don't think he was claiming that there would be no violence in australopithecines.

One thing about anthropology and its beginning is that it was rife with misunderstandings because most of those doing the work were creationists and started their work with the a priori belief that everything needed to fit their myth's timeline, and their "natural order” of things. Although, that their work is still being refered to is not surprising. Another thing amthropologists got wrong, from what i understand, is that there is no way that humans could have evolved from knuckle dragging chimps/apes/monkey's, yet i still hear scientists saying we branched off from chimps. How long does it take to correct institutional science? How long did it take to debunk obvious lies like the Aryan Invasion and Hamitic hypothesis? Your best guess isn’t science, but for some reason it’s ok in paleoanthropology, you can be wrong as long as someone eventually corrects you, the damage done in between is of no concern to the scientific community.

Thank you for your presentation of the Makopanscot fossil assemblage. Can l ask a question? With respect to the worm dentition on the adult mandible, it would seem that fire use may not have been for cooking but perhaps safety and warmth, as the teeth wear is showing tough food consumption, like seds and roots with residual soil on the them is correct? An easier question might be, why is the dentition so worn, what does it tell us about their diet? Thanks again. Adendum. I think you answered my question later with the second mandible, of the 21year old.

Great lecture - fascinated. Makapansgat was the scene of a very tragic piece of South African history
