Cradle of mankind
Everybody seems very excited about the new hominid fossil that was discovered in SA with more to be recovered. As far as I can gather a hominid is something between a chimpanzee and a man. But I am somewhat confused. What are the scientists really saying to us. Some scientists are saying this is a step closer to the origins of man, others are saying it is the missing link.
Just take a closer look at the scientific name of this fossil, Australopithecus sediba. Australo = Southern, pithecus = ape, and sediba = fountain, spring in Sotho. Are they
camouflaging the fact that they think it is actually an ape behind Greek terminology?
Really, if you look at the skull of the Au. Sediba (above) doesn’t it look more like that of an apelike creature in comparison to the
Neanderthal man (adjacent) who clearly has a human skull? The saying, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, comes to mind. You see what you want to see depending on your point of departure, isn’t it?
Can it be possible if I point to this webpage, from my blog? I’m wanting to find as many sources of good info as I can.

I randomly browse blogs on the web, and I find your article to be very informational. I’ve already bookmark it on my browser, in order that I can view your weblog publish again later. Also, I’m wondering whether your blog is open for hyperlink exchange, as I really wish to exchange links with you. I do not normally do this, however I hope that we will have a mutual link exchange. Let me know and have an amazing day!
