World?s oldest human-linked skeleton found - Science- msnbc.com

WASHINGTON - The story of humankind is reaching back another million years with the discovery of "Ardi," a hominid who lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia.

The 110-pound, 4-foot female roamed forests a million years before the famous Lucy, long studied as the earliest skeleton of a human ancestor.

This older skeleton reverses the common wisdom of human evolution, said anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University.

It's amazing to think that not much changed in the million year gap, or even millions of years after that, and then see the exponential increase in the advancements we've made in just say the past 100 years.
