We are currently studying our early human ancestors. A recent discovery of a 4.4 million year old hominid skeleton is shedding new light on the origins of humans. The find has been nicknamed “Ardi”, after the species name Ardipithecus Ramidus.
The Discovery Channel will air a special show titled Discovering Ardi on October 11 at 9pm. Below is a short clip from the show. You can also visit their interactive Ardipithecus Handbook.
