[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] New hominin fossil humeri from Koobi Fora: implications for Homo erectus (sensu lato) origin and diversity MICHAEL LAGUE, MEAVE & LOUISE LEAKEY & WILLIAM JUNGERS 2016 ... To date, 3 humeral morphs have been identified among 2-1-Ma fossils in E-Africa - Paranthropus boisei, - Homo habilis, - Homo erectus. In this study, we use diaphyseal morphology to diagnose 3 new fossil humeri from Koobi Fora c 2-1.5 Ma: - 2 isolated specimens: KNM-ER-64034 & 64037, - 1 associated with a 2.02-2.03 Ma partial skeleton ER-64061 (thought to represent early Homo). ... ER-64034 (Okote Mb.) has clear affinities with "H.erectus", ER-64037 (Upper Burgi Mb.) with "P.boisei". ER-64061 bears a strong resemblance to the humerus of WT-15000 "Turkana Boy" in size & shape, but both specimens differ substantially from the "H.erectus" group, and most closely resemble H.naledi UW-101-0283 & 101-0948. ER 64061 & 64034 support the presence of 2 variants within African/Georgian H.erectus sensu lato (complementing previous findings, based on temporal bone morphology). The ER-64061 skeleton establishes the presence of H.erectus sensu lato at an earlier date than previously documented. [/QB][/QUOTE]
