Thanks Karen and Brett, for these sources.

There are some definite problems and questions with this "new" missing link fossil. First, it was really found two years ago, and just now (when they really need some good press) they've decided to "unveil" it to the media in glowing accounts. It is an Australopithecine like the famous "Lucy" fossil. So, all of the votes of no confidence coming in on Lucy, would apply to Australopithecus Sediba then, too. They say it has human hips and legs, but they only show pictures of the skull and collarbone. They do tell us it had a chimp-brain like Lucy. They claim the face has Homo sapiens type features. I have yet to see where they get this specific date of 2 million years--no mention of Potassium-Argon or anything. I am suspicious that they have no date and just assigned it a place in the evo time-line that would be best for their story to look good. We must wait a few weeks on this one, for the rest of the info to finally trickle in ... as it always does. Keep thinking meanwhile. Dr J
