Scientists Spar Over Claims of 	Earliest Human Ancestor, Science
 









Excerpt: In two papers scheduled for publication in
the 28 February issue of the Comptes Rendus de l'Academie des
Sciences, researchers claim that a set of 6-million-year-old bones
unearthed in Kenya last year represents our earliest known
ancestor. Not only would the find predate other leading candidates
by some 2 million years; the authors also believe that all
australopithecines--hominids which include the famous skeleton
Lucy, whose species is thought to be one of our direct
ancestors--should be relegated to a side branch in favor of their
specimen.
