Uprooting the human family tree
Article Abstract:
The discovery of the fossil of Australopithecus ramidus has led to new problems with reference to the evolution of human beings. The skull of Australopithecus ramidus is the only vestige that has been discovered. The discovery of other vestiges such as bones of the leg, hand and pelvis reveals that the ramidus may not even belong to the Australopithecus family.
