Australopithecus telemarketus
In the 1930's and 40's, the first specimens of robust telemarkecines were discovered in east and southern Africa. Evidence of the development of pyramid selling was found in several areas. This cranium of a telemarkecine juvenile was discovered in a cave at Swartkranz in South Africa in 1949. The two holes in top of the skull were a mystery until it was noted that the holes appear to be punctures made by the canines of a provoked early human. The reconstructed episode of this individual's death reminds us that early telemarkecines were considered to be nuisances.
