About Abel
Abel (KT-12/H1) is the name given to the only known specimen of Australopithecus bahrelghazali. Abel was found in January 1995 in Chad in the Kanem Region by the paleontologist Michel Brunet, who named the fossil "Abel" in memory of his close friend Abel Brillanceau, who had died of malaria in 1989. The name "bahrelghazali" is in reference to the Bahr el Ghazal valley in Chad where it was discovered.
