Abstract
A study of the atlas and axis of Plio-Pleistocene Hominids reveals a morphology different from that of extant primates. In particular, the morphology of the rétro-glenoid tubercle of tbeglenoid cavity of the atlas of AL 333.83 suggests characteristics of genus Australopithecus. The other two atlas from East Turkana (Kenya), KNM-ER 1825 and KNM-ER 1808(Z), exhibit human-like morpbology. SK854can be attributed to 'classical' Australopithecines. AL 333.101 is quite similar to modern humans. It confirms the presence of an early Homo or anotber form with committed permanence.
