ABSTRACT
In Africa, the scarcity of hominin remains found in direct association with stone tools has hindered attempts to link Homo habilis and erectus particular lithic industries. The infant mandible discovered level E at Garba IV (Melka Kunture) on highlands Ethiopia is critical this issue due its an Oldowan industry. Here, we use synchrotron imaging examine internal morphology unerupted permanent dentition confirm identification as erectus. Additionally, utilize new palaeomagnetic ages show that (i) ca. 2 million-years-old, represents one earliest fossils, (ii) overlying D, 1.95 contains known Acheulean assemblage.
