Tags: Begin, Good, PlantsEarlier, 100,000 elephants lived in Kenya and we didn't have any noteworthy problem with it. The problem that we have is not that there are now more elephants.
Tags: Elephants, Lived, ProblemIt is virtually impossible to control Northern Kenya, which is populated chiefly by migrant nomads.
Tags: Control, Impossible, KenyaPaleoanthropology is not a science that ends with the discovery of a bone. One has to have the original to work with. It is a life-long task.
Tags: Original, Science, WorkElephants can live to an age of up to 70 or 80 years and they have a good memory. It could be they come across an area that is experiencing a drought. Then they continue on their path and run into people.
Tags: Age, Good, PathAlong the borders to Ethiopia and Somalia, anarchy reigns, the police and military have retreated quite some distance.
Tags: Military, Police, QuiteI can't think of any other region in the world which is such a vast source of fossils.
Tags: Fossils, Region, SourceScientific innovations continually provide us with new means of analyzing the finds.
Tags: Analyzing, Means, ScientificThe elephants were being slaughtered in masses. Some were even killed in the vicinity of big tourist hotels.
Tags: Big, Elephants, MassesThe land is not in the least bit fertile and yet the cattle herds grow larger and larger. A cow represents capital investment here.
Tags: Bit, Grow, HereTo investigate the history of man's development, the most important finds are, of course, hominid fossils.
Tags: Finds, Fossils, HistoryWe think that groups of between 30 and 40 early men would have settled in an area measuring a hundred square kilometers.
Tags: Between, Early, MenA number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year, we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge.
Tags: Knowledge, Together, TryFor fossils to thrive, certain favorable circumstances are required. First of all, of course, remnants of life have to be there. These then need to be washed over with water as soon as possible, so that the bones are covered with a layer of sediment.
Tags: Life, Possible, WaterI would hazard a guess that we have found fossilized human remains of at least a thousand different specimens in South and East Africa, more or less complete at that. I think this is where the prelude to human history was primarily played out.
Tags: History, Human, LessOne should not forget that there are very few surviving items from this period, often just single, small bones, a tooth, a sliver of the skull. Categorizing these pieces can be very difficult.
Tags: Forget, Single, SmallSadly, I am not able to take part in the fieldwork myself so much anymore, as both of my legs were amputated following an airplane crash twelve years ago.
