How dumb teenagers can win prizes

Article Abstract:

A skeleton found in 1984 by Alan Walker in Kenya could shed clues on the relationship between humans and apes. The skeleton is 1.5 million years old and is of a boy aged 11-years-old. He is an example of homo erectus, and would have been some six feet tall had he grown to be an adult. He is not likely to have possessed language and had a smaller brain than modern humans. His brain size is seen as between that of chimpanzees and modern humans.
