Revisiting the palaeoenvironments of the South African hominid-bearing Plio Pleistocene sites : new isotopic evidence from Sterkfontein

Bibliography: leaves 96-101. / This thesis offers a revised palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of South African PlioPleistocene sites based on δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O isotopes extracted from enamel of fossil fauna. New isotopic results from Sterkfontein Members 4 and 5 are reported to supplement existing data from Makapansgat and Swartkrans in order to examine the changing environment from approximately 3 to 1.4 million years ago (Ma).
