Discoveries by the Chicago contingent of the 1967 and 1968 International Research Expedition to the Omo Valley extend the fossil records of australopithecines back to between 3 and 4 million years ago.

... Several senior researchers-often highly experienced in paleoanthropological fieldwork in Africa, Asia, and Europe-questioned Dart's interpretations of the behavior of the South African australopithecines. These critics included Washburn (1959) and Howell (1965). Feustel, Robinson, and Brain also offered quite scathing criticism of the ODK and lack of rigor in its formulation as commentators in Donald L. Wolberg's (1970) Current Anthropology ODK review. ...

... Many societies possessing Mode 2 and Mode 3 technologies focused on large game, including forest elephants, mammoths, rhinos and cave bears (e.g. Howell 1966;Villa 1990;Mania 1991;Thieme 1995). Indices such as seasonality in the exploitation of resources have also been cited as if only a few other species were mastering that ability without advanced cognition. ...

... There are frequent references in the paleoprimatological literature to the "anulus membrane", a structure which is said to connect the ectotympanic to the submeatal portion of the bullar wall in extinct and extant lemurs [e.g., WINGE, 1895WINGE, (1941; VAN KAMPEN, 1905;STEHLIN, 1912;VAN DER KLAAUW, 1931;WOOD JONES and LAMBERT, 1939;SABAN, 1956SABAN, -57, 1963LE GROS CLARK, 1959; VAN VALEN, 1965;CARTMILL, 1975;SZALAY, 1975]. It is true that certain soft tissues intervene between ectotympanic and petrosal plate in lemurs, and in a trivial way lemurs differ from most other mammals in the orientation of these tissues in the adult stage. ...

... While it was noted by Morales (1984) that it was found in Afghanistan and Iran. And it was also found in the Koshkurgan (=Vyatka) Faunal Complex of the Middle Pleistocene in Kazakhstan (Howell et al., 1969;Shpansky et al., 2016), and even from the fossiliferous area with an age around the Mio-Pliocene boundary (ca 5 Ma) at Kossom Bougoudi in Nord Chad, represented by a fragment of mandible and two complete metapodials (Likius et al., 2003). The horizon is chronologically similar to that of the lower boundary of Gaozhuangian in Yushe Basin, the earliest appearance of P. gigas in East Asia up to that time. ...

... We conclude that Australopithecus LP is the most appropriate identification for this 651 specimen (Table 2). 652 W 7-23 is a P 4 (Howell 1969;Howell & Coppens 1974). The morphology of the crown is asymmetrical 653 with cusp placement and talonid size indicative of a non-robust hominin. ...
