  • 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 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.

    University of Poitiers, France, 2025-04-10.

    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.

    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.

    Franck Guy, palaeontologist and CNRS research fellow, photographed in front of the display cases of the reserves containing the fossils of the Palaeontology Department. He is holding the femur discovered near where Michel Brunet found the Toumaï skull. For some scientists, this femur calls into question Toumaï's bipedalism, but today there is nothing to indicate that this bone belonged to the same individual. .
