Professor Lee Berger explores the use of the absolute age of fossils in questions of phylogeny, and where the age of a fossil is important.
Time is often used in palaeoanthropology as a replacement for morphology and anatomy where understanding human evolution is concerned. In this lecture, Prof. Berger explores the use of the absolute age of fossils in questions of phylogeny, and where the age of a fossil is important, and where it is not so important in interpreting and understanding human evolution.
