Course Description

In this talk, Dr. Manthi will discuss the emergence of our species. Fossils of early human ancestors millions of years old, such as Lucy -Australopithecus afarensis, and the Turkana Boy -Homo erectus, are familiar to experts and enthusiasts alike. But what about the final step that produced Homo Sapiens?  Dr. Manthi’s team has discovered the earliest representatives of our species near Kenya’s border with Ethiopia. Africa is where we emerged, took on our modern form, invented art and complex tool technologies, and spent our first 200,000 years, before a few small bands ventured into Europe, Asia, and eventually the Americas. Striking new fossils demonstrate that all human beings on Earth today -despite our minor differences- are truly brothers and sisters.
