Abstract
The Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition (EMPT) is characterised by major environmental changes and evolutionary innovations within the genus Homo but the scarcity of the African EMPT fossil and archaeological records obscures its palaeoecological context. Here, we present archaeological and faunal evidence from a newly excavated West-Turkana EMPT site--Kanyimangin. Keywords: Kenya, Early to Middle Pleistocene, lithic artefacts, geochronological analyses
Introduction One of the stumbling blocks to understanding the evolutionary history of the genus Homo concerns the impact of the Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition (EMPT) (1.2-0.75Ma) on hominin populations. [...]
