The most famous of the Homo erectus specimens found in Africa
is the fossil of the "Turkana Boy," which was found near Lake
Turkana in Kenya. It is confirmed that the fossil was that of a 12-
year-old boy, who would have been 1.83 meters tall in adolescence.
The upright skeletal structure of the fossil is no different from that
of modern man. The American paleoanthropologist Alan Walker
said that he doubted that "the average pathologist could tell the dif-
ference between the fossil skeleton and that of a modern human."
Concerning the skull, Walker wrote that he laughed
when he saw it because "it looked so much like a
Richard Leakey (left) and Alan Walker, who studied the
Turkana Boy fossil—the most complete known specimen of
Homo erectus—concluded that it belonged to a 12-year-old
boy 1.6 meters tall. The interesting thing is that there is no
major difference between this 1.6 million-year-old fossil and
people of our day. This situation reveals once again that
Homo erectus was a genuine human race, with no "primi-
tive" features.
