Scientists recently announced the discovery of the oldest fossil skeleton of a human ancestor. The find reveals that our forebears underwent a previously unknown stage of evolution more than a million years before Lucy, the iconic early human ancestor specimen that walked the Earth 3.2 million years ago.
The centerpiece of a treasure trove of new fossils, the skeleton---assigned to a species called Ardipithecus ramidus---belonged to a small-brained, 110-pound (50-kilogram) female nicknamed "Ardi."
