# Michel Brunet

> Michel Brunet is a French paleontologist and a professor at the Collège de France between 2008 and 2011. In 2001 Brunet announced the discovery in Central Africa of the skull and jaw remains of a late Miocene hominid nicknamed Toumaï. These remains may predate the earliest previously known hominid remains, Lucy, by over three million years; however, this conclusion is the subject of a significant controversy.
