Nature 371, 306–312(1994) IN this article we attributed hominid fossils from Aramis to Australopithecus ramidus sp. nov. We noted that generic placement was conservative and that ramidus might represent a new genus. Meanwhile, as ramidus is likely to be the sister taxon of the remaining hominid clade, generic separation from Australopithecus is appropriate.
