摘要：As an anatomist working on modern baboons at the University of the Witwatersrand, Trevor Jones 1 described a partial cranium of a Plio-Pleistocene baboon (Sts 564) from the Sterkfontein Caves in the Cradle of Humankind. He named it Parapapio broomi, a new genus and species in honour of Dr Robert Broom who was based at the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria from 1934 until his death in 1951 (the museum is now referred to as the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History). Jones was a student of Professor Raymond Dart who had encouraged Broom to work at Sterkfontein after this site had yielded fossil baboons similar to those that had been found at Taung 2 – the site from which the holotype specimen of Australopithecus africanus was discovered in 1924.
