(CNN) -- Scientists may have discovered a new branch on your family tree.
"A team of researchers working in South Africa has unearthed what they believe are the remains of a previously unknown species predating modern humans. They recently discovered a couple of partial skeletons -- an adult female and a juvenile male -- that are nearly 2 million years old. The two are believed to have been significantly taller and potentially stronger than "Lucy," the roughly 3 million year old skeleton discovered in Ethiopia in 1974. Known as "Australopithecus sediba," the pair may provide a window into a previously little-defined period in human evolution. "Australopithecus" means "southern ape," the researchers noted. "Sediba" refers to a "natural spring" or "fountain" in Sotho, a local language in South Africa. The discovery of the remains was akin to stepping into a time machine, said Dr. Lee Berger from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. It's providing a "really a special look into hominid evolution at that time," he told reporters." more...http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/science/04/08/hominid.discovery.skeleton/index.html?hpt=C2(Slideshow) |

the only evolution is Revolution - God made us - end of story. End of story, the end of learning, the end of questioning thought, the end of open minded dialog. only two kinds of people on earth ... Its extremely rare that a person uses this phrase without being a bigot of some sort. It feels good, though. Its nice to pretend things are simple. |

the only evolution is Revolution - God made us - end of story. Story's still going, brother. Or did you not notice that the world continued rotating so the western hemisphere faces the sun again today? As far as I can see, time did not stop, nor did scientific debate. And what is this revolution you speak of? Crusading is soooo last millenium. |

Hey hey!, don't discount my FSM... ...40% of Americans do not believe in evolution...add the 20% who are "not sure" and we see how DUMB (too many) Americans are. 60% of the people in America are clueless brainwashed dolts. |
