6:30pm - Discovering Ardi on now!

[Yowie88]

Hi Guys;

There is a show on foxtell channel 6.08 about a discovery of a bipedal type creature!

What was the show like I missed it?

Hi Chewy;

It was about a hominid that is said to be 4.4 million years old found in Ethiopia.

What was particularly interesting was its feet that had a large hook like toe, which was used for climbing trees as it was deduced that Ardi lived in a lush, wooded terrain.
Examination of its teeth suggested that they were more human like than ape and seemed too thin to be that of a primate. The pelvis area indicated that it was most
likely bipedal.
