Abstract

The “Kanam Mandible” is the anterior portion of a fossilized mandible that was discovered by Louis Leakey’s team in Kanam, Kenya in 1932. It has been assigned to archaic Homo of the African Middle Pleistocene or the Late Pleistocene. The lingual aspect exhibits an exophytic mass that has been examined by anthropologists and pathologists, with differential diagnoses that have included osteosarcoma, bone keloid, Burkitt lymphoma, and osteomyelitis resulting from fracture.
