这卷1和它的同伴卷2提出了新的调查结果的地质学，古生物学和古生态学的早期人类遗址莱托利在北方坦桑尼亚。该遗址是非洲最重要的古生物学和古人类学遗址之一，因发现早期人类南方古猿阿法种的化石以及其足迹而闻名。第一卷提供了关于该遗址的地质学、地质年代学、生态学、生态形态学和埋藏学的新证据。第二卷描述了在莱托利新发现的属于南方古猿阿法种和埃塞俄比亚傍人的古人类化石，并提供了有关各种相关动物群的系统学和古生物学的详细信息。总之，这些贡献提供了一个最全面的人类化石遗址，他们提供了重要的新的见解，人类进化的早期阶段和它的背景
This volume 1 and its companion volume 2 present the results of new investigations into the geology, paleontology and paleoecology of the early hominin site of Laetoli in northern Tanzania. The site is one of the most important paleontological and paleoanthropological sites in Africa, worldrenowned for the discovery of fossils of the early hominin Australopithecus afarensis, as well as remarkable trails of its footprints. The first volume provides new evidence on the geology, geochronology, ecology, ecomorphology and taphonomy of the site. The second volume describes newly discovered fossil hominins from Laetoli, belonging to Australopithecus afarensis and Paranthropus aethiopicus, and presents detailed information on the systematics and paleobiology of the diverse associated fauna. Together, these contributions provide one of the most comprehensive accounts of a fossil hominin site, and they offer important new insights into the early stages of human evolution and its context
