This evening I saw a news story on TV about one if the newest discoveries in human history, the remains of Astralopithecus sediba at the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa.Barbara and I had visited that archeological site in the winter of 2004. We climbed down into a cave and saw what the scientists had done, then toured the nearby work shed and saw the fossils and bones they were cleaning and organizing..
The recent discovery there of 1.9 million year old bones of a 9 year old male primate have been in science news. Professor Lee Berger's find is named "Sediba" which means "source."
