We are concerned that, in a few years time, this place of discovery, with its wealth of human fossils, the like of which can be found nowhere else in the world, could be completely destroyed.

Important
|
Nov 07, 2020

To investigate the history of man's development, the most important finds are, of course, hominid fossils.

Now
|
Nov 07, 2020

The problem is that during the 1980s, a decade of heavy poaching, the elephants retreated to safer areas. And now people have moved into the corridors once used by the elephants.

Cow
|
Nov 07, 2020

The land is not in the least bit fertile and yet the cattle herds grow larger and larger. A cow represents capital investment here.

Big

The elephants were being slaughtered in masses. Some were even killed in the vicinity of big tourist hotels.

Means

Nov 07, 2020

Scientific innovations continually provide us with new means of analyzing the finds.

Airplane
|

Insects

Primates need good nutrition, to begin with. Not only fruits and plants, but insects as well.

Nov 07, 2020

Paleoanthropology is not a science that ends with the discovery of a bone. One has to have the original to work with. It is a life-long task.

Difficult
|
Nov 07, 2020

One should not forget that there are very few surviving items from this period, often just single, small bones, a tooth, a sliver of the skull. Categorizing these pieces can be very difficult.

Impossible

Nov 07, 2020

It is virtually impossible to control Northern Kenya, which is populated chiefly by migrant nomads.

Ancestors
|
Nov 07, 2020

I, too, am convinced that our ancestors came from Africa.

History
|
Nov 07, 2020

I would hazard a guess that we have found fossilized human remains of at least a thousand different specimens in South and East Africa, more or less complete at that. I think this is where the prelude to human history was primarily played out.

Source
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can't think of any other region in the world which is such a vast source of fossils.

Fossils
|
Nov 07, 2020

For fossils to thrive, certain favorable circumstances are required. First of all, of course, remnants of life have to be there. These then need to be washed over with water as soon as possible, so that the bones are covered with a layer of sediment.

Experiencing
|
Nov 07, 2020

Elephants can live to an age of up to 70 or 80 years and they have a good memory. It could be they come across an area that is experiencing a drought. Then they continue on their path and run into people.

Nov 07, 2020

Earlier, 100,000 elephants lived in Kenya and we didn't have any noteworthy problem with it. The problem that we have is not that there are now more elephants.
