The oldest hominid fossil was found in Ethiopia. It is said to be about 4.4 million years old, and was named Ardi. She supposedly was 4 ft tall and weighed about 110 lbs. She also had opposable big toes that helped her to climb through trees, but she also had the ability to stand and walk on her two hind legs. The only question now is could she really be the "missing link"?According to the article itself she is, but others would disagree with that. Some people commented that there really isn't any way to tell just how old she is, and that carbon dating isn't always right. Others say that the whole thing is just a fake, and that Lucy is a fake too. There's even one comment that simply states that evolution is fake.
One comment on this page was very intriguing said that this isn't a recent discovery that everyone thinks it is. Ardi was supposedly found 17 years ago. So, the question came up, "If they found Ardi 17 years ago, why are we just hearing about it now?" It's been over a week and there's still no response to this question. Will there ever be? What do you think the reason is why we didn't hear about it before?
