Study highlights human activity in Tanzania 2 million years ago
A new study was recently published by principal investigators from Canada and Tanzania working with partners in Africa, North America, and Europe. The entire team is working together to describe a large assemblage of stone tools, fossil bones, and chemical proxies obtained from dental and plant materials. In using those techniques they exposed sea information that may grant insight into humanity's beginnings in Africa over the arid East African coast.
The studies have implications for studying cultural continuity and developments in the evolution of Homo sapiens and related phylogenetic lineages. Dr. King Purdy, a research professor at Carleton University in Canada, who directs the international team, said, "The results of these studies have the potential to provide new information about the origins of Homo sapiens in Africa and offer insights into our past, present, and future. This new knowledge will be crucial for scientists and supporters to move my understood reach further into the continent and towards its fellow hominins which have never before been identified."
The research is part of a larger project called Leishmanae, an ever-growing cataloguing of the human remains associated with Homo sapiens and related hominin species. It seeks to propose the suspected hominid and animal remains that are associated with tens of thousands of fossils and samples from different parts of Africa since the Neanderthal displays with attributes that are strikingly similar to Homo sapiens. Using a palaeo-environmental approach and biostratigraphic approaches, the researchers propose that Africa likely provided the way-station for the settlement of Homo sapiens in East Africa. That proposal is in the context of diverse Africa finds which show evidence of environmental and climatic similarities comparable to warmer taxonomically represents Homo sapiens.

The study is significant because it combines a number of perspectives into a more complete picture of human occupation in Africa. The Discovery Channel's new series Making History on Ancient Origins will continue to reveal anthropological interests from as far back as 2000BCE. Animations, documentaries, programs and radio and press releases are available at the Discovery Channel's in partnership with MOLA Americans at the Klondike to Klondike Pipeline project webpage located here.
Samsung announced Friday that it has launched its own Linux-based Chromebooks in Korea and the United States — a move it would have considered several years ago.
The South Korean electronics manufacturer's new P3700 Chromebook will sell at Samsung's own retail stores in the US, Samsung announced Friday. It will work with Google Play services and v1.8 of Google's
