Scientists believe this transformation probably occurred between 4 million and 6 million years ago, but until recently they had no fossils to back up their hypothesis. In 1994 researchers reported that they had found teeth and other fragments of a 4.4 million-year-old hominid in Ethiopia. But without key bones from below the waist, they could not say for sure how the animal moved...
...less than a year later, another team of paleontologists, led by Meave Leakey from the National Museums of Kenya and Alan Walker of Pennsylvania State University, has announced the best evidence so far that a previously unknown species of hominid strode upright at least 4 million years ago. Their find, reported in last week's Nature, consists of complete upper and lower jaws, teeth from several individuals, a piece of skull, arm bones and a leg bone. Taken together, the fossils push the emergence of two-legged walking, or bipedalism, 500,000 years earlier than any other data had indicated...

Because one senior drank underage she caused the serious injury of a house painter. On a school trip to Montreal in the eighth grade, this woman-who appears so upright and moral now-drank one sip of beer. She was immediately suspended from school. While she was home for three days, she decided, instead of seriously contemplating her transgression, to sunbathe. One of the men who was painting her house at the time noticed and fell from a ladder, breaking his leg. At least she feels bad about...
