Fossils found in East Africa suggest that primates roamed the area more than 20 million years ago. Recent finds near Kenya's lake Turkana indicate that hominids such as homo habilis(1.8 and 2.5 million years ago) and homo erectus (1.8 million to 350,000 years ago) are possible direct ancestors of modern homo sapiens and lived in Kenya during the pleistocene. In 1984 one particular discovery made at lake turkana by famous paleanthropologist Richard Leakey and Kamoya Kimeu was the skeleton of a turkana boy belonging to Homo erectus from 1.6 million years ago.

I wonder how they were able to determine that the skeleton was a turkana.
