Bones of 1st standing human
p2pnet.net OT News:- On Friday, scientist’s were talking about our smallest ancestor, and on Sunday it was the oldest walking human.
Fragments of a skeleton were found by a US-Ethiopian team at Mille, in the north-east Afar region of Ethiopia, and are estimated to be between 3.8 and 4 million years old, says the Guardian Unlimited.
The fossils included an anklebone which, with the tibia, proved the creature walked upright, says Bruce Latimer, director of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Ohio, who led the two-month excavation, says the story.
The discovery is of critical importance in understanding human evolution because, “Researchers are still unsure why our ape-like ancestors abandoned their four-legged gait and their homes in the trees so that they could walk upright on the ground.”

… nothing ; )
But I like to break things up with the occasional non-p2p topic that I find genuinely interesting, and which I hope will interest other people as well.
p2pnet is, however, a news source for Google and Yahoo, among others. So I also hope OT items will get a few people to the site where they’ll be exposed to ideas (on p2p and file sharing, for example) they might not otherwise come across.
Cheers!

Maybe the minions at R.I.A.A. might come from monkeys, but I believe most of the human race was created by Yahweh.

I agree with you.Behind all these creations there is a creator,Who is called God.
