Palau 546

     Superimposed on a map of the eastern hemisphere from Africa to eastern Asia and from southern Scandinavia to southern Africa and Australia are 20 stamps featuring discoveries in the history of pre-historic life. They are not arranged chronological order. Several of the stamps have errors ranging from spelling to dates to mis-identifications.
     The skull on the first stamp on the left of the third row is identified as Australopithecine Ethiopus. The image is of the Black Skull discovered in 1986 in Kenya, which is properly identified as Australopithecus Aethiopicus. In the statement on the stamp the relationship between the Black Skull and modern humans is described as a mystery. However, while the relationship between the Black Skull and modern humans is unclear, Australopithecenes are ancient members of the Hominidae family of which Homo Sapiens, modern humans, is the only surviving member

    Other errors, listed but not described in the Scott catalog, are 546g and k, sapien should be spelled sapiens, 546p, Leaky should be spelled Leakey, and Oldavi should be spelled Olduvi, and 546t, Raymond Dart was born in 1893, not 1899.
