The New Face of Evolution, Lucy moves over for Selam |
From Jan/Feb 2007 Archaeology, a publication of the Archaeological Institute of
America
The New Face of Evolution, by Zach Zorich
"... In a field that typically deals in spans of a million years or more,
celebrity can seem especially fleeting. So maybe it was time for the
3.2-million-year-old Australopithecus afarensis known to the world as "Lucy" to
step aside as paleoanthropology's reigning diva, an unofficial title she has
held since her 1974 discovery when she stunned the world by providing the first
solid evidence that humans had evolved from apelike ancestors. Now Lucy is being
upstaged by a younger, more complete fossilized superstar: an afarensis skeleton
named for the Ethiopian word "peace"--Selam. ..."

Cool! Who knows? Selam might have been one of Lucy's descendants.

Ancestor, by about 100,000 years.

"I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is
a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the
crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due
to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious
indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility
corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of
nature and of our own being."
- Albert Einstein to Guy H. Raner Jr., Sept. 28, 1949, from article by
Michael R. Gilmore in Skeptic magazine, Vol. 5, No. 2, 1997
