Australopithecus bahrelghazali is an extinct species of australopithecine discovered in 1995 at Koro Toro, Bahr el Gazel, Chad, existing around 3.5 million years ago in the Pliocene. It is the first and only australopithecine known from Central Africa , and demonstrates that this group was widely distributed across Africa as opposed to being ...
Australopithecus fossils become more widely dispersed throughout eastern and southern Africa (the Chadian A. bahrelghazali indicates that the genus was much more widespread than the fossil record suggests), before eventually becoming pseudo-extinct 1.9 million years ago (or 1.2 to 0.6 million years ago if Paranthropus is included).
Abel (KT-12/H1) [1] is the name given to the only specimen ever discovered of Australopithecus bahrelghazali.Abel was found in January 1995 in Chad in the Kanem Region by the paleontologist Michel Brunet, [2] who named the fossil "Abel" in memory of his close friend Abel Brillanceau, who had died of malaria in 1989.

The encephalization quotient of some cetaceans is therefore higher than that of most primates, including the nearest relatives of humans, such as Australopithecus. [8] This list follows partly from Walter Carl Hartwig's 2002 book The Fossil Primate Record [9] and John G. Fleagle's 2013 book Primate Adaptation and Evolution (3rd edition). [10]
