Raymond Arthur Dart (1893–1988) was an Australian anatomist and paleoanthropologist best known for his discovery of the first australopithecine fossil, the Taung Child, in 1924. This find provided crucial evidence for human evolution, suggesting that bipedalism preceded larger brain size in hominids. Dart's work significantly influenced the understanding of human origins and the evolutionary lineage of humans. He also contributed to the study of fossil hominids and advocated for the importance of South Africa in paleoanthropology.
