When Raymond Dart discovered the Taung Child, Australopithecus Africanus, how was he convinced that it was a human ancestor? What mistakes did he make when attempting to prove this to other paleoanthropologists? It has often been said that Dart attempted to do this "at the wrong time in the wrong place." How would this explain his failure to convince the scientific world that he had discovered the oldest human ancestor. Consider where the Taung Child was found and also keep in mind other paleoanthropological discoveries occurring at the same time. Additionally keep in mind the "Zeitgeist." of the time; i. e., the way people thought in the early 1920’s.
