Hominine

During his lecture, Dr. Alemseged talked about human evolution through his experiences, fieldwork and research. About four hundred people attended the lecture. Among his current works are descriptions of new hominine and non-human primate fossils; growth and development in early hominines; and analysis of environmental and ecological factors affecting primate and human evolutionary processes.

To judge from its sinuses, Hispanopithecus crusafonti is the earliest known hominine (the group including all great apes except orangs).
