Summary- Scientist have announced the discovery of the earliest human ancestor. She walked the Earth millions of years before Lucy. Radiometric dating of two layers of volcanic ash that sandwiched the fossil deposits revealed that Ari lived 4.4 million years ago. Instead of fighting for access to females, a male Ardipithecus would supply a "targeted female" and her offspring with gathered food and gain her sexual loyalty in return. Ardi lived in a moist woodland that is now a desert in Africa.
Opinion- I think its really cool. The only thing I think is nasty is that they used food to have sex. I understand why they did that but it's still nasty. I wonder if they took baths. I wish they were still alive so I could observe them and not have to look it up.
