Human Fossils of the Siwaliks: Myths and Realities

Résumé

Two American biologists, Herrera and Garcia-Bertrand (2018), were quick to publish a long synthesis on Masol (Dambricourt Malassé, 2016) taking up the problem of the geographical and phylogenetic origins of the hominins who let the oldest intentional cut marks collected in Pliocene deposits in association with choppers, in Asia and not in Africa. The merit of this historical discovery goes to the "Siwaliks" program fully funded by two great European research organizations, the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the National Museum of Natural History, Paris which entrusted the direction to Dr. Anne Dambricourt Malassé, paleoanthropologist. The first Indo-French fieldworks in the Siwaliks were initiated in 2002 by Dr. Mukesh Singh, President of the “Society for Archaeological and Anthropological Research” at Chandigarh (Union Territory of India). Nevertheless, it is imperative to denounce a serious untruth in this eagerness to seize the emerging paleoanthropological problematic. This precipitation transmits a very serious sham put in place by a former student of the Panjab University of Chandigarh since 1988, Mohinder Pal Singh, while no paleoanthropologist cites him.
