Introduction to KSD-VP-1/1: The earliest partial skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis -- The Geologic Context of Korsi Dora and the Partial Skeleton KSD-VP-1/1 -- The Taphonomy and Paleoecology of Korsi Dora Vertebrate Locality 1, Woranso-Mille Study Area, Ethiopia -- KSD-VP-1/1: Analysis of the Postcranial Skeleton Using High-Resolution Computed Tomography -- The Cervical Vertebrae of KSD-VP-1/1 -- The Shoulder Girdle of KSD-VP-1/1 -- The Thoracic Cage of KSD-VP-1/1 -- The Pelvic Girdle and Limb Bones of KSD-VP-1/1 -- Conclusion: Implications of KSD-VP-1/1 for Early Hominin Paleobiology and Insights into the Chimpanzee/Human Last Common Ancestor.

This volume describes a 3.6 million-years-old partial skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis from the Woranso-Mille, central Afar, Ethiopia. This specimen is the first adult partial skeleton to be recovered since Lucy's (A.L. 288-1) discovery in 1974. It is older than Lucy by 400,000 years and sheds light on the paleobiology of earlyAustralopithecus afarensis, particularly the morphology of the shoulder girdle and thoracic shape, which are thus far poorly understood and actively debated. The fauna associated with the partial skeleton tells us enormously about Au. afarensis paleoecology and give us another piece of the puzzle regarding habitat availability and use for Au. afarensis outside the Hadar region where it has been well-known for the last four decades.
