![]() The Taung Skull – small enough to fit in the palm of a hand – was that of a three or four-year-old child, and much smaller than a modern human of the same age. He later wrote: “I doubt if there was any parent prouder of his offspring than I was of my Taung baby that Christmas of 1924.” Two days before Christmas, he finally freed the child from the rock. Here in lime-consolidated sand was the replica of a brain three times as large as that of a baboon and considerably bigger than that of an adult chimpanzee.”įor three months, Dart scratched the skull from its rocky matrix using his wife’s sharpened knitting needles. But I knew at a glance that what lay in my hands was no ordinary anthropoidal brain. Had it been only the fossilised brain cast of any species of ape it would have ranked as a great discovery, for such a thing had never before been reported. “On the very top of the rock heap was what was undoubtedly an endocranial cast or mould of the interior of the skull. It belonged to the Taung Child, and was to become one of the most remarkable scientific discoveries ever made.ĭart wrote of the moment in his book, Adventures with the Missing Link: When he removed the lid from the second box, Dart was amazed to see the fossilised cast of a tiny brain on top of the pile. The fossils had been sent by his geologist colleague, Professor RB Young, from the Buxton Limeworks in the small town of Taung, about 150 km (95 mi) from Kimberley, in what is now the North West Province of South Africa and which now forms a part of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. One Saturday in 1924, a young scientist, Dr Raymond Dart, anĪustralian by birth who studied in England and had come out to South Africa as head of the University of the Witwatersrand’s Department of Anatomy, received two large wooden boxes containing fossils at the door of his house, just as he was preparing to attend a wedding. Australopithecus anamensis, found in Kenya, is the most ape-like and oldest of the australopithecines, dating to between 4.2-million and 3.9-million years ago. Remains of other early species of Australopithecus have been found in East Africa.Īustralopithecus afarensis, which lived between 3.6-million and 3-million years ago, has been found at Laetoli in Tanzania, where footprint trails of Australopithecus were uncovered in 1978, and at Hadar in Ethiopia, including the famous Lucy skeleton discovered in 1973. ![]() Other hominid remains dating to a similar time have also been recovered from the Jacovec Cavern at Sterkfontein.Īustralopithecus has also been found at Makapans Valley in South Africa’s Limpopo Province, which is part of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. The species to which the skeleton belongs will only be determined when it has been completely extracted from the rock in which it lies embedded. ![]() “Little Foot”, which is still being excavated from Sterkfontein Member 2, is one of the oldest australopithecines ever found, dating to between 4.1-million and 3.3-million years old, according to palaeomagnetic evidence and cosmogenic isotope dating. He observed the same features in Sts 71, and suggested these, plus some other large-toothed hominids from Sterkfontein and the Makapans Valley, represent another Australopithecus which lived at the same time as Australopithecus africanus. Palaeoanthropologist Professor Ron Clarke has argued that Stw 252 appears very different from Australopithecus africanus in that it has much larger teeth, a flatter upper face, a thinner brow region and a differently shaped braincase. These include several specimens, such as Stw 252, and Sts 71, discovered by Broom and his colleague, John Robinson, in 1947. These include the lesser known cranial specimens Sts 17 and Sts 52, and a partial skeleton, Sts 14, found in 1947, which had a complete pelvis that affirmed that Australopithecus was bipedal, or walked upright.īut there are other australopithecines discovered at the Sterkfontein Caves and at Makapans Valley, about 300 km (480 mi) from Sterkfontein, near Mokopane in Limpopo Province, which may not be Australopithecus africanus. Sts 5 (Mrs Ples), which he discovered in 1947, and many other specimens found in Sterkfontein Member 4, also belong to this species. The first adult specimen of an Australopethicus was discovered in 1936 at Sterkfontein by palaeontologist and director of the Transvaal Museum, Dr Robert Broom. ![]() ![]() I don’t consider them to be great gaming tablets but they’re decent ones. However, Amazon’s graphics performance is much better. ![]() Its CPU performance is as good as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 which is a direct competitor. Of course, it is because the chipset is identical and the memory does not impact the performance much. My Geekbench 5 benchmark comparison shows that the performance of the simple HD 10 and the Plus version is the same. We’re getting 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB internal storage. Inside the Amazon Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 10 Plus sits a MediaTek MT8183 octa-core processor. Sure, not the best of the best at all, but certainly fine for its price. The two speakers offer true stereo separation and are decent too. In fact, if you’re looking for a cheap media tablet, I think they are great options. But of course, in this price range, it can’t be as bright as the much, much pricier iPad Pro or so.īecause the tablets have a Widevine Level of L1, you can use them to watch Netflix and other streaming services with HD resolution. However, when the sun turned, I wished it would be a tick brighter. A couple of days ago I used the Fire HD 10 to work in a cafe and the screen was bright enough to use in the shadow. I do still own the older version and the difference is hard to see, but I guess those are the 10%. It seems to be an IPS panel with decent viewing angles and colors look fine.Īccording to Amazon, the screens are 10% brighter than their predecessor. The 11th generation of the Fire HD 10 and HD 10 Plus have the same 10.1-inch screen with a FullHD resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. With that being said, the 5-megapixel main camera on the back is a bit disappointing. ![]() Considering its price, photos and videos look fine. When holding the tablets in landscape orientation, there’s a 2-megapixel webcam right in the middle. On their sides, we get a microSD card slot, a standard headphone jack, and a USB C 2.0 port. With 9.2mm they’re quite thick and the weight of around 465g is alright. It’s supposed to be as robust as the standard one. With the Fire HD 10 Plus, however, we get a bit higher-end plastic which has a soft touch to it. The plastic body of the Fire HD 10 feels a bit cheap, like cheap plastic. That’s what Amazon says, I didn’t check it because I buy all these tablets myself and don’t want to destroy them. While it’s a plastic body, it’s supposed to be 1.7 times as robust as the Apple iPad 8 when dropping it. We’re getting slimmer and symmetrical screen bezels now. Design & Built QualityĬompared to its predecessor, the 2021 generation has a much better design. For those 30 Dollars extra you’re getting 4GB instead of 3GB RAM, wireless charging support, and the body feels a bit higher-end. ![]() The standard version costs around 150 Dollars while you can pick up the Plus at around 180 Dollars.

Might even be a little grease or dirt that’s preventing the ball from coming out of the zerk. If you’re trying to apply grease with your lever gun and the grease just won’t go in the zerk, you may have some rust accumulated down in there. What about a grease fitting that won’t take grease? If you don’t do this regularly, you’re going to have excessive wear. But since the grease is coming out, you’ll need to add more as you use the machine. What does the grease actually do?ĭid you know that grease is actually oil with a thickener in it? The grease comes out of a bearing when it’s in use, to keep the fitting lubricated and eliminate friction. When you put that coupler on, it pushes the ball back and allows you to apply grease through the fitting. When there’s no grease coupler on that fitting, the ball is out at the front and it keeps it grease from coming out. ![]() Inside the zerk is a little tiny ball with a spring behind it. It’s a funny name, but the inventor was a Wisconsin fellow name Oscar Zerk who worked for Nash Motor Company. The fittings the grease goes into are called zerks. The bearings on the tractor need grease to keep running smoothly. Anyway, I get lots of questions about greasing, so I’m going to tell you 12 things you may not know about grease and grease fittings. It’s not a big deal to do, but nobody really enjoys doing it. And if you’re new to tractors and equipment, it’s important for you to know how to use a grease gun and how to grease your equipment. I don’t know anybody who really gets excited about talking about grease, do you?īut if you grease your equipment, it’ll last longer. ![]() ![]() For example, TD Bank charges its customers $7.50 for each currency conversion transaction.
