...known whether Touma? walked upright - or how the discovery fits into the pattern of human evolution. SOUTH AFRICA More Perfect Union African leaders launched the African Union, which they hope will assist in averting war, reducing poverty and strengthening the continent's new democracies. The successor to the failed Organization of African Unity is based on the European Union. Like its model, the A.U. plans institutions such as a pan-African parliament, a court of justice, a bank and even a single currency at some point in the future.
