note = "Funding Information: Field research conducted by the Woranso-Mille paleoanthropological project was made possible under a permit from the Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage (ARCCH) of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Ethiopia, the Afar Regional State, and all of its district administrations. We would like to particularly acknowledge Mohammed Bilay (Administrator of Mille district) and Habib Wogris (Chairman of the Gega and Burtele sub district) for their support of the project. Thanks to Alemayehu Asfaw who found the first skeletal element of KSD-VP-1/1 and to the colleagues and students who participated in the excavation: Mulugeta Alene, Joshua Angelini, Erin Benson, Alan Deino, Stephanie Melillo, Hailay Reda, Liz Russell, Beverly Saylor, Gary Scott, and Robin Shultz. We are also grateful to the many field assistants from Addis Ababa and the Afar people at Waki and Waylateyta without whose participation the excavation of KSD-VP-1/1 would not have been possible. The Paleoanthropology Laboratory of the ARCCH made its laboratory and fossil storage space available and we are grateful for the support provided by the curators in the laboratory. Field and laboratory research of the Woranso-Mille project was supported by The Leakey Foundation, The Wenner-Gren Foundation, The National Geographic Society, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and National Science Foundation (BCS-0234320, BCS-0321893, BCS-0542037, BCS-1124705, BCS-1124713, BCS-1124716, BCS-1125157, BCS-1125345).",
