Ethiopia - Lucy's 'great-grandfather' found

"Lucy," a 3.2-million-year-old human ancestor, is seen in an artist's rendering.

Ethiopia - Lucy's 'great-grandfather' found

Anthropologists say they have discovered the 3.6 million-year-old partial skeleton of a creature that came from the same species as Lucy, but was 400,000 years older and at least as good at walking upright. Their analysis suggests that upright walking, the trademark trait for humans and their extinct kin, goes back further in time than some might have assumed.

This skeleton, described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has a much longer name than Lucy: It was dubbed Kadanuumuu, which means "big man" in Ethiopia's Afar language. Like the 3.3 million-year-old Lucy skeleton, Kadanuumuu was found in the East African country's Afar region, and shares the species name Australopithecus afarensis.

Australopiths are fossil species that share some traits with chimpanzees - for instance, protruding faces and small brains - but share other traits with humans. Most importantly, their skeletons appear to have been built for upright walking. Arizona State University paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson, who discovered Lucy back in 1974, said the latest discovery adds to a "treasure trove" of hundreds of australopith fossils from East Africa.

Right now Meles Zenawi must be working the phones trying to sell this fossil. Lucy has been sold a couple of years ago. It is now somewhere in a museum in USA. Hopefully, they will send some replica back.

Dear GOTATA;
Don't you have any thing sensible to say? What has Meles got to do with the fossil? Every thing doesn't have to be about politics does it? You know very well that dinknesh is NOT sold.
PLEASE try to rid your mind from the junk it is occupied by now!!!

Are u kidding me? That was the original ID of meles at shoot and run hide outs of adwa-caves, before he went on fully transplants of facial formation,chin restorations,forhead subtraction, face lift renovation,nose addition, brain demolation, superficial gums extraction, eye-balls liposuction. God could have made one from scratch than repairing the un-mendable.

gotata, You rascal vagabond!

You just want to relate anything, any news, about Ethiopia with PM Meles whether it’s good or bad, whether it’s politics or not.

Meles changed the country positively for good and make Ethiopia to be recognized by outside world more than ever. You should be thankful with his leadership.

These are the kind of people working hard to tarnish the name of Ethiopia.

It is good news that it would make Ethiopia to attract more scientists to do more research

Ape or Sew. Make the distinction. You should ask yourself where you came from. Are you killing inocent women and children? if the answer is yes, then you came from an ape. Do you belive in love and peace? if the answer is yes, Then you came from Sew. Because God created us out of love not hate. Wake up...

Hi All,
Probably this new discovery will give us a hint(clue)about Obang Metto. This time I am sure that we will be able to know whether Obang is from Darfur or Ethiopia.

They should be Kicked out from Africa,these idiots called Anthropologists.They never dug Europe soil and never show us their ancestors how did they look like.This is an insulting Africans.

Other African countries,they stopped a long times ago digging their soils this called Anthropologists.
Africans understood long time their objective, which in fact based on that false info of Darwinist ideology of creation of the humane.It was simply a manipulated greedy idea of business and money creation's in the expenses of African peoples at most,since they focused on African soils and the Anthropologist,never tried to research the places like Iraq,rivers area,where religion books written and told us or any other continents but only Africa and to insult Africans.

Well,now this Anthropologists people found woyane money lover and enjoying to carry out their business in Ethiopia.How many times they picture this Lucy this found here and found there.She looks a human,she looks an Ethiopian.No she don't look like but,FYI today,their picture she looks like that shabiyan old women who lived in Ethiopia and voted for Eritrean sepration.KKKKKKKKKKKKK!

This group Anthropologists must be kicked out from the countries.Do you hear me woyane lichochi? Tell your boss to deport these group from the country.

There is that world class idiotic and narrow minded volunteer moderator, who thinks the world owes him everything he failed to do in his life and at the same time he feels he is seating at the top of the world and therefore deletes everything he doesn't agree with, not because they had violeted the rules of nazret.com.you should be ashamed of your backward thinking and your inferior complexity

Next time they /Geologists/ will tell us that they found Lucy's boyfriend. That would be awesome. But the truth is Ethiopia is indeed the cradle of all civilization.

This is FAKE. Humans didnot come from MONKEYS. WHY are you ganging up on the blogger, who said LUCY is SOLD. It is TRUE, SHE IS GONE, SOLD. To whomever sold her,(in this case TPLF) I say, GOOD JOB. If some think that LUCY the MONKEY is their RELATIVE, and willing to pay for it, I too, will SELL her to the highest bidder. The BIG QUESTION is where is the MONEY:?: Sell Lucy's great-grandfather the MONKEY AND BUILD A FREE HOSPITAL FOR THE POOR:!:

Dear c´moi senait,
What a pathetic creature you are!
You are even worse than Gotata.
If you do not have any thing worthy to say, it is better not to say any thing at all.

Where is Lucy now? Did she change her nationality? Maybe ASYLUM???

This ugly creature isn't my ancestor nor is she yours. This is a big hoax. Get her away from me!

The so called scientists are so down on trying to find a link between ugly creatures and Africans that they'll do anything.

Truth is that humans are created as humans and apes created as apes. Trying to say otherwise is simply Darwinian HOAX.

Trying to say that we share so much GENES so we must have evolved from them is simply looking for something where it isn't to be found.
