Description:Kapitel: Dieter Leisegang, Ernst Jokl, Raymond Dart, John Dugard, Wendy Beckett, Martin Middeke, Frederik Van Zyl Slabbert, Diethelm Bruggemann, Jean Welz. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Raymond Arthur Dart (February 4, 1893 - November 22, 1988) was an Australian anatomist and anthropologist. The son of a farmer and tradesman, he was married twice and had two children. He is best known for his discovery in 1924 of a fossil (first ever found) of Australopithecus africanus (extinct hominid closely related to humans) at Taung in Northwestern South Africa. He was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and studied at Ipswich Grammar School, the University of Queensland, University of Sydney and University College, London, before taking a position as head of the newly established department of anatomy at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1922.

So much so that in 1947, Sir Arthur Keith said ..".Dart was right, and I was wrong." Not all of Dart's ideas are accepted today. His assertion that gazelle long-bones found in association with Australopithecus africanus were used as tools is unproven and largely dismissed. Dart also originated the killer ape theory. Although some other anthropologists, notably Robert Ardrey, defended and further developed the theory, it is still widely questioned. The Institute for the Study of Man in Africa was established in 1956 at Witwatersrand in his honor. Dart continued in his position as director of the School of Anatomy at University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, until 1958. There he worked with Phillip Tobias, who continues his work in the study of the Cradle of Humankind and other paleoanthropological sites. In 1959, an autobiographical account of Dart's discoveries, Adventures with the Missing Link...http: //booksllc.net/?l=dWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
