Location, location, location. Map of the major African early hominin site areas (late Miocene to Early Pleistocene). Sites with radiometrically datable volcanic deposits (e.g., tuffs) are concentrated along the East African Rift Valley. For all other sites, biochronological correlation with the eastern African record is a primary source of age control (base map from NCEI/NOAA. doi:10.7289/V5C8276M).
