Most popular and many scientific accounts of human evolution locate all the main developments in the East African Rift Valley, where localities such as Olduvai, Koobi Fora and the Afar Depression evoke immediate name recognition. South Africa, with its several hundred australopithecine individuals, is often relegated to the wings, while the rest of the continent receives little more than a passing mention. It is thus particularly appropriate that a new overview of human evolution situated within its biogeographical and climatic context should spring, in part, from the important work directed since the late 1980s by Tim Bromage and Friedemann Schrenk in Malawi, midway between eastern and southern Africa. Representing the papers arising from a Wenner-Gren Foundation sponsored symposium held there in 1995, this volume offers as much to palaeoanthropologists and archaeologists as it does to specialists in Plio-Pleistocene climate change or biogeography.
