Lucy's baby
Article Abstract:
Researchers working in northeastern Ethiopia have found the remains of a baby Australopithecus afarensis, which is believed to be the earliest child in the human fossil record. The specimen has raised questions about how our ancestors became bipedal and the Dikika infant might also illuminate the order in which other body parts changed over the course of human evolution.
