It is part of the Afar Depression that has created other rich human fossil sites such as Gona and Hadar . It consists of three geological unit s called members in which fossils and artifacts from different periods of human evolution have been excavated. The lowest Hatayae member 2.5 mya in which Australopithecus garhi fossils have been found, the Dakanihylo member 1 mya and Homo erectus , and the Herto member lower 260 ka and upper layers 160 to 154 ka and Homo sapiens idaltu . Human remains from the Upper Herto layers have been found with signs of having been changed after death by mortuary practices. Geology The Bouri Formation occurs in the Bouri peninsula , a geological Fault geology fault raised Horst geology horst that diverts the Awash River and forms a partial dam creating Lake Yardi . The peninsula is about 4 km wide and 10 km in length and lies in a NNW SSE direction in the Quaternary period rift zone of the southern Afar Region . The Bouri peninsula contains the Bouri formation, a sediment area that stretches down much of its length and breath and is 80 m thick. It is eroded to expose three geological members or layers the Hatayae also known as Hata , the Dakanihylo also known as Daka and the Herto. ref name Clark Clark JD, Beyene Y, WoldeGabriel G, Hart WK, Renne PR, Gilbert H, Defleur A, Suwa G, Katoh S, Ludwig KR, Boisserie JR, Asfaw B, White TD. 2003 .

From the evidence gathered by paleontology palaeontologists and archaeology archaeologists , it appears that the Australopithecus genus evolved in eastern Africa around 4 million years ago before spreading throughout the continent and eventually becoming extinct 2 million years ago. During this time period various forms of australopiths existed, including Australopithecus anamensis , Australopithecus afarensis A. afarensis , Australopithecus sediba A. sediba , and Australopithecus africanus A. africanus . There is still some debate amongst academics whether certain African hominid species of this time, such as Australopithecus robustus A. robustus and Australopithecus boisei A. boisei , constitute members of the same genus if so, they would be considered to be robust australopiths whilst the others would be considered gracile australopiths . However, if these species do indeed constit ... more details
