New hominin remains and revised context from the earliest Homo erectus locality in East Turkana, Kenya
KNM-ER 2598 is one of the oldest known Homo erectus fossils but there are doubts about its age. Here, Hammond et al. trace the original location of the specimen, confirming an age >1.85 million years, and locating additional hominin fossils situated in a paleohabitat dominated by C4 grazers.
