Editing Raymond Dart (section)

==Legacy==
The Institute for the Study of Man in Africa was established in 1956 at Witwatersrand in his honour by [[Phillip Tobias]]. In 1964 the Raymond Dart Memorial Lecture was inaugurated at the Institute.<ref name="InstituteStudyManAfrica">{{cite web |url= http://www.wits.ac.za/isma/ |title= Objectives & Vision, Background Information |author= Institute for the Study of Man in Africa |work= ISMA website |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/19991007055317/http://www.wits.ac.za/isma/ |archive-date= 7 October 1999 |df= dmy-all }}</ref>

Dart was director of the School of Anatomy at the [[University of the Witwatersrand]], Johannesburg until 1958. There he worked with Tobias, who continued his work in the study of the [[Cradle of Humankind]] and other [[Paleoanthropology|paleoanthropological]] sites. In 1959, an autobiographical account of Dart's discoveries, ''[[Adventures with the Missing Link]],'' was published (with Dennis Craig as co-author). In the book he acknowledges the crucial role played by his first female student and demonstrator, Josephine Salmons. She brought to his attention the existence of a fossilised baboon skull at the house of [[Edwin Gilbert Izod]], director of the Northern Lime Company and proprietor of a quarry in Taung. The skull was kept as an ornament on the mantlepiece above the fireplace at his home. In bringing the skull to show Dart, she set in motion a chain of events that led to the discovery of the "child skull of Taung".

At the age of 73, Dart began dividing his time between South Africa and [[The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential]] (IAHP), an organisation founded by [[Glenn Doman]] that treats brain injured children. Dart's son, Galen, had suffered motor damage during birth in 1941. Dart spent much of the next twenty years working with the IAHP.<ref>Review by Jean Clark of "Dart: Man of Science and Grit" by Frances Wheelhouse and Kathaleen S. Smithford.
