Early Humans Were Regular Footers

Reg FooterAccording to the Wall Street Journal researchers in the US and Ethiopia released information on fossils today from a 4.4 million year old “human forbear” that they say show that early humans were “more modern than scholars assumed.”

An international research team led by paleoanthropologist Tim White at the University of California, Berkeley, unveiled remains from 36 males, females and young of an ancient prehuman species called Ardipithecus ramidus, unearthed in the Awash region of Ethiopia since 1994.

Obviously, goofy-footers came later as evolutionary improvements to primitive man.

Researchers in the U.S. and Ethiopia on Thursday made public fossils from a 4.4-million-year-old human forebear they say reveals that the earliest human ancestors were more modern than scholars assumed and deepens the evolutionary gulf separating humankind from today’s apes and chimpanzees.

The highlight of the extensive fossil trove is a female skeleton a million years older than the iconic bones of Lucy, the primitive female figure that has long symbolized humankind’s beginnings.

The article went on to say that Mongo skaters are an evolutionary dead end
