Hominid Evolution

Here's a link to a fascinating piece in the online magazine Science Alert. It concerns "a possible human ancestor known as 'Little Foot'" and the latest evidence about how old is the hominid skeleton that gave rise to the term. L.F. may have lived at the same time as, or even earlier than, the more famous australopithecine "Lucy," aka australopithecine afarensis. The proper Latin term for L.F. is still a subject of discussion, but some suggest Australopithecus Prometheus.
