...ancestor. But recently, comparisons of fossil and modern primates and analyses of modern ape and modern human DNA have independently indicated that a single ancestral ape gave rise to both chimps and hominids between 5 million and 7 million years ago. That presumed great-great-great-grandape almost certainly swung from trees in the African forest. If so, then Sahelanthropus, or Toumai, could well have been the very first hominid, or at least one of the first, to begin the evolutionary march that ultimately led to Homo sapiens...

...Using his right arm in a chopping motion, Lee demonstrated how the murderer most likely stood over the victim, repeatedly hitting her with the club. "She was probably on the ground receiving some injury," he said. As the killer swung the club back, it had finally broken apart and the bloodied metal head and two sections of the shaft flew more than100 feet, coming to rest among dead leaves across the yard. The killer then dragged the girl 80 feet to a tree, stopping at one point along the way to roll the body over and change from pulling...
