'Gap' in Human
Evolution Given
Scientific Name
By GEORGE WEEKS
Washington - (UPD - A 14
million-vear-old fossil nn
earthed in Africa by explor
ers of the gap" in human
evolution now has a name:
"Kenyapithecus Wicked."
British anthropologist Louis
S. B. Lakey, writing in the
National Geographic maga
zine, said the fossil fills "an
enormous gap in the panor
ama of man's development."
Since finding the jawbone
of an unknown primate dur
ing a 1961 dig in Kenya, Lea
key and his wife have had
a chance to study its charac
teristics and give it is scien
tific name, Kenyapithecus
wicKeri.
Explaining the name. Lea
kev said "Kenva. of rnnrcp
indicates where the fossils
were found, and pithecus is
one of the endings frequently
used in describing the higher
primates of prehistoric times.
Honors Friend
"The last part of the name,
Wickeri, honors my friend
Fred Wicker, an orange grow
er at Fort Ternan, who found
the first fossils where Ken
yapithecus was later disrnv.
ered."
Anthropologists avoid us
ing the term "missing link"
in pieceing together the story
of human evolution.
Leakey said Kenyapithecus
"was not- emphatically not
a man."
But he said it had an es
sential characteristic of present-day
man, one never found
in the same form among fos
sil or living apes or monke. s.
It is what scientists call' a
"canine fossa." This, In hu
mans, is a depression in the
upper jaw that anchors a
muscle which helps control
lip movements of speech.
No Information
Leakey said "Until the dis
covery 01 kenyapithecus, we
had literally no information
from Africa about any stage
of man in that vast stretch
of time" between Proconsul
and its related stock of some
25 to 40 million vearc n
( and the Olduvai creatures
who lived a little less than
2 million years ago.
"There were only a few
fossils elsewhere in the world
from that period, and those
allied In the direction of apes,
not a man" he said. "Now at
lease we have Kenyapithecus,
which lived some 14 million
years ago, and we are begin
ning to explore our gap."
He said presence of the
canine fossa does not mean
Kenyapithecus could speak,
but it gave him that poten
tial. The National Geographic
society, which supports the
work of the husband-wife
Leakey team, said their re
ports "suggest that Fort Ter
nan is yielding abundant fos
sils of odd creatures which
the Leakeys will describe in
detail when they visit Wash
ington in March."
The society said the Leak
ey' "extraordinary finds in
clude the first nearly com
plete skull of Proconsul Afri
canus, a very ancient creature
which many scientists believe
represents tne common stock
leading both to man
apes."
