A critique of Afar man as the alleged common ancestor of later australopithecines and Homo | Mehlert, AW. 1982.
CRSQ 19(1):26-27. CELD ID 5938Abstract Claims have been made by Dr. Donald C. Johanson (Cleveland Museum of Natural History) that fossil finds at Laetoli and Hadar in Ethiopia reveal that 3.5 million years ago, a creature named as Astralopithecus afarensis existed which had sufficient features to prove that it was the common ancestor of A. africanus and early Homo.
