个人简介
Dr. Berhane Asfaw is a world-renowned paleoanthropologist (an anthropologist who studies early humans by excavating and looking at fossilized human skeletal remains) leading major expeditions in Ethiopia and elsewhere. He is the manager of a private research centre by the name of Rift Valley Research Service in Addis Ababa and co-director of the International Middle Awash Research Project in the Afar region.
Dr. Berhane received his undergraduate degree from Addis Ababa University and went on to study at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a Ph.D. in physical anthropology in 1988. He then became paleoanthroplogy coordinator of Ethiopia’s Center for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage in the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture and director of the National Museum of Ethiopia. After serving as a visiting professor of anthropology at Rutgers University, he accepted an appointment to his present position in 1997. Dr. Berhane has lectured widely and is the co-author of some thirty papers published in scientific journals. He completed extensive survey work in the Awash depression and played a major role in unearthing many fossils thought to be among the earliest hominids, some now dated at more than four million years of age. He has been working on the middle Awash Valley research field since 1974. He was a student-researcher with the University of California palaeon-tological team that discovered the 3.5 million-year old remains of Lucy - unearthed in 1974 and believed to be the oldest known hominoid directly related to Homo sapiens.
Dr. Berhane has recruited and mentored many Ethiopian scholars, and now has about a dozen of Ethiopians scientists on his team. His scientific talents and leadership in paleoanthropology have played a key role in the confirmation of the idea that the human race descended from Ethiopia.
