The Gorongosa National Park, in Mozambique, located between two of the main areas which were inhabited by the first humans,will host one of the most important paleontological research on primates that may help in the understanding of human evolution

The study will take place from next year and will be in charge of the Portuguese researcher,Susana Carvalho of Oxford University who soon,will occupy the director folder of associated Paleoanthropology and Primate of Gorongosa National Park.Susana Carvalho,an expert in the study of the behavior of primates in the use of tools, will direct a team of international multidisciplinary Scientists trained in geology, paleontology, paleobotany,archeology, primatology and bio-conservation will represent institutions from seven countries: Mozambique,UK, Portugal,Germany,United States, South Africa and Chile.Speaking to Lusa, the proffessor of associated Paleoanthropology of Oxford University said,"the idea is to understand the evolution of the whole Gorongosa ecosystem, with all the animals that are in the Gorongosa, and realize how much time humans may have been there and under what conditions".Susana Carvalho highlighted the fact that the Gorongosa is strategically located in what is called the end of the Great African Rift Valley,place the scientific community describes as"large reservoir of knowledge"because its archaeological and paleontological potential and new sites likely to be of great importance to the science of the origins of humans.According to the researcher,"a lot of data"that scientists have about the history of human evolution for the last six million years is provided by the East African region and the African Rift valley,whose geological situation"is particularly favorable to fossisl".The findings that the team hopes to make will help researchers"to complete some of the puzzle of human evolution"said the expert of studies in primate behavior in the use of tools developed in Guinea Conakry, aimed at understanding the origins and the evolution of technology in the world.
