support to the project. We thank N. Yamaguchi and one anony- mous reviewer for valuable comments on the manuscript. This project would not have been possible without the dedication of the WTPP crewmembers. Funding for this project was provided by the Leakey Foundation and the Palaeontological Scientific Trust (PAST) of South Africa. Work by LW in Africa is funded by the Swedish Research Council.
