http://www.bbc.co.uk/mundo/ciencia_tecnologia/2009/10/091001_fosil_evolucion_men.shtml

1. This article is about the discovery of a fossil that is linked to human evolution. The fossil, nicknamed Ardi, is neither a chimpanzee nor a human, and it lived about 4.4 million years ago. Ardi is about a million years older than the famous Lucy.

2. Scientists discovered the fossil in 1994 in Ethiopia. It took 17 years to clean the fossil and analyze it. There were 47 scientists from 10 countries working on the project. I found this article interesting because this fossil will add to evidence supporting evolution. The fossil was very well preserved and scientists found evidence that the animal walked on two feet, but was still not a humanoid. The fossil is similar to Lucy, but it is a million years older. It will be interesting to see the differences that occur over a million years.
