These are fossil fragments of Orrorin Tugenensis, a hominid species discovered in Tugen, Kenya, in 2000. Orrorin in Tugen means 'original man', in reference to the possibility that this species, if proven to be a direct human ancestor, could render the australopithecines side branches of the hominid family tree.
