Abstract
This fossil femur from Olduvai confirms that the larger or robust australopithecines lived in both East and South Africa during the Pleistocene. This specimen and femora from Swartkrans in South Africa are very similar anatomically, suggesting similar locomotor characters for the two species. Some inferences can be made as to the gait and stance of these australopithecines.
