    The curse of Toumai: an ancient skull, a disputed femur and a bitter feud over humanityís origins.
    The curse of Toumai: an ancient skull, a disputed femur and a bitter feud over humanity’s origins.

    When fossilised remains were discovered in the Djurab desert in 2001, they were hailed as radically rewriting the history of our species. But not everyone was convinced - and the bitter argument that followed has consumed the lives of scholars ever since.

    Paleontologist Michel Brunet at his desk, holding a copy of the fossilised jaw fragment of the 3.5 million-year-old Australopithecus Abel. He and his team of researchers found this fossil in 1996 in northern Chad.

    The femur discovered near the site where Michel Brunet found Toumaï's skull calls Toumaï's bipedalism into question for some scientists. However, nothing today indicates that this bone belonged to the same individual.
