New hominids from East Rudolf, Kenya, I

Abstract

Important new hominid fossils from the Plio‐Pleistocene sediments of Lake Rudolf, Kenya, are described. They include: a partial, adult cranium with most of the calvaria and some of the facial skeleton preserved; a complete right femur; and bones of a single left lower limb — femur and upper and lower parts of the tibia and a small portion of fibula. Detailed comparative descriptions will be published later.
