White (University of California, Berkeley), Gem Suwa (University of Tokyo), and Berhane Asfaw (Ethiopian Ministry of Culture), Known first as Australopithecus ramidus and later changed to Ardipithecus ramidus, these fossils were found in sedimentary Pliocene deposits at Aramis, Middle Awash, northern Ethiopia between December 1992 and December 1993. What is claimed to be one of the most sensational fossil discoveries involving human origins was made by Tim D. Thus, the recent news that the hominid 'missing link' has been discovered was greeted with great exuberance by the evolutionist community. This period is also devoid of any relevant fossil material, except for a few fossil scraps too fragmentary for diagnosis. This second period is equally critical for evolutionary theory because it is the time when the ancestors of the australopithecine and human group were allegedly diverging from the ancestors of the African apes, especially the chimpanzees. The second gap, known as the hominid gap, extends from 14 to 4.5 million years ago. Yet, with one possible exception, this time-frame is devoid of hominoid fossil evidence to document this alleged divergence. This period is important because it is during this period that evolutionists believe that the ancestors of apes and humans were splitting off from the tine leading to the monkeys.

The first gap, known as the hominoid gap, goes from 32 to 22 million years ago on the evolutionary time-scale. In tracing the alleged evolution of humans from primate ancestors, palaeoanthropologists have been frustrated by the existence of two extensive gaps In the fossil record.
