Talk:Australopithecus garhi

message: A lot of dates in the text are wrong, , for example the type specimen was first namend in 1999 (not 1997), and the skull has been found in 1997, not 1996. Haile-Selassi was the discoverer of the type-specimen, but he was not one of the authors of the publication ... --De.Gerbil 15:22, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone wrote: "The remains are from the time when there are very few fossil records, between 2.0 and 3.0 million years ago. "
This is ridiculously wrong. You could fill a room with all of the hominid fossils from 3 to 2 million years ago.
Several individuals of each of the following species have been found from this timeframe:
Homo erectus
Australopithecus africanus
Paranthropus aethiopicus
Homo habilis
and a few others.
Additionally, I believe you should always say "3 to 2 million years ago". 2 to 3 sounds backwards, as the earlier date should come first.

thread_title: OK, this *must* have been a joke

message: Did someone really write that Australopithecines in the Afar became extinct because they were surrounded by vegetation and had no meat?  Large canines males of extant primates and some hominins are generally considered to signal sexual dimorphism.  This implies much about their social organization and reproductive strategies, but does not mean they were relying on meat, or even consuming it at all.  In fact, most of the debate about Australopithecine diet revolves around which plant resources they were consuming and where they were getting them, be it tough, C4 plants like sedges and grasses, or soft fruits in more closed forest environments.  Hominins likely weren't relying on meat until the emergence of the genus Homo (definitely by the appearance of Homo erectus).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pantrog (talk • contribs) 23:23, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canines do not imply a carnivorous diet 

message: I removed a large chunk of text in this edit (added here and here). It could be used, but it must be cleanup up first (e.g. it should be Australopithecus garhi not Australopithecus Garhi; most references such as Denys et al., 1986; Pickford, 1990; Partridge et al. 1995, are not listed in the reference section or anywhere else). jonkerz ♠talk 07:15, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
