Earliest human ancestor found in Ethiopian woodlands
Necerts scientists report Australopithecus ramidus fossils from Ethiopia dated to about 4.4 million years ago. Tim White of UC Berkeley leads the discovery of 17 individuals, including skull pieces and a left arm, suggesting forest habitats shaped early human evolution. Ramidus predates Australopithecus afarensis by about 800,000 years.
