Skeleton clues reveal Ardi's place in human origins
Ardi, a 4.4 million year old Ardipithecus ramidus skeleton, lived in East Africa's woodlands. The find, from a 15-year dig in the Middle Awash of Ethiopia, suggests a tree-dwelling ancestor capable of bipedal movement on the ground, signaling a major step in human evolution with Ardi as a distant cousin rather than a direct ancestor.
