Hadar remains: Hominid fossils found since 1973 near the Awash River, about 185 mi (300 km) from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. The remains representing at least 30 hominid individuals, including Lucy and the so-called First Family of 13 Australopithecus afarensis (see Australopithecus) individuals who probably perished together date from 3.4 to 2.9 million years ago. In the Middle Awash region just to the south, researchers have found some of the oldest known ( 4 million years old) hominid fossils, and in the adjacent Gona area some of the oldest known ( 2.6 million years old) stone tools have been identified. The lower valley of the Awash is a World Heritage site
Lake Turkana remains: Collection of hominid fossils found along the shores of Lake Turkana in northwestern Kenya. The Koobi Fora site, excavated by the Leakey family and others, has proved to be the richest fund of hominid remains found anywhere in the world, yielding fossils that represent perhaps 230 individuals, including members of Homo habilis, H. erectus, and Australopithecus. On the western shore was found a remarkably well preserved skeleton of an 11-year-old boy (the "Turkana Boy") later classified as H. ergaster or H. erectus and dated to 1.8 million years ago. This surprisingly human specimen suggests that H. ergaster may have been the direct ancestor of the hominids that left Africa for Eurasia 1 million years ago. See also human evolution
