I heard this story on the BBC radio late one night last weekend. Always good to hear from long lost cousins.

Just the one in the video as far as I know. I do need to search for other sources. I heard it on the BBC, so that is where I looked.

I did like how they mentioned that is was South African scientist who tested the bones, and they were half a mil older than Lucy. Might be some bragging rights at stake here.

It's taken so incredibly long to create us humans.

It's terrifying to think about how quickly we're progressing towards exterminating ourselves.

Just the one little blurb. I need to google when I get the time. But this kind of work takes years to complete.
