The major advance in human evolution has come from molecular evidence, significantly altering our understanding of relationships.
Hominin Evolution and Taxonomy – Bernard Wood
Q: What are the biggest challenges in defining a species in the fossil record?
The challenge lies in relying solely on hard tissue evidence since soft tissues do not fossilize.
Hominin Evolution and Taxonomy – Bernard Wood
Q: Of all the fossil taxa and evolutionary questions you've explored, which do you consider your most significant contribution and why?
It's the monograph I wrote in 1991 regarding fossils recovered from East Rudolph, trying to make sense of their classification.
