Knowledge of this species is pivotal to understanding early human evolution, because 1) the sample of fossil remains of A. afarensis is among the most extensive for any early human species, and the majority of remains are of taxonomically informative skulls and teeth; 2) the wealth of material makes A. afarensis an indispensable point of reference for the interpretation of other fossil discoveries; 3) the species occupies a time period that is the focus of current research to determine when, where, and why the human lineage first diversified into separate contemporaneous lines of descent. 410 0$aHuman evolution series. 606 $aAustralopithecus afarensis.$alemac 606 $aSkull 606 $aCraniology 615 7$aAustralopithecus afarensis.,$alemac 615 0$aSkull. 615 0$aCraniology. 676 $a599.9/48 700 $aKimbel$b William H.$01687036 702 $aRak$b Yoel 702 $aJohanson$b Donald C. 702 $aHolloway$b Ralph L. 702 $aYuan$b Michael S. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807872903321 996 $aThe skull of Australopithecus afarensis$94060212 997 $aUNINA
