Raymond Dart, then the head of the department of anatomy at the University of the Witwatersrand in [[Johannesburg]], [[Gúúsù Áfríkà|South Africa]], became interested in fossils found at a limestone quarry at Taung near [[Kimberley]], [[Gúúsù Áfríkà|South Africa]] in 1924.<ref>{{Àdàkọ:Cite web|url=http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/284158_brain.html|title=Raymond Dart and our African origins|work=uchicago.edu}}</ref><ref>{{Àdàkọ:Cite web|url=http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/rdart.html|title=Biographies: Raymond Dart|work=talkorigins.org}}</ref> The most promising of these was a skull of an odd [[Àwọn Irúọmọnìyàn|ape]]-like creature presenting human traits at the eye orbits, teeth, and, most importantly, the hole at the base of the skull over the spinal column (the foramen magnum); its placement indicated a human-like upright posture and implied a high probability that this hominid-to-hominin primate had achieved bipedal, as opposed to quadrupedal locomotion. Dart assigned the specimen the name ''Australopithecus africanus'' ("southern ape of Africa");<ref name="info">{{Àdàkọ:Cite web|url=http://www.archaeologyinfo.com/australopithecusafricanus.htm|title=Australopithecus africanus|work=archaeologyinfo.com}}</ref> it was also dubbed "the Taung child".
