Scientists unearth early skeleton
Scientists say they believe they have discovered one of the oldest skeletons of an early human ancestor.
US and Ethiopian scientists working in north-eastern Ethiopia say the remains of the hominid, or primitive human, date back four million years.
The skeleton is said to be that of the world's oldest animal walking on two feet, or biped.
If you exclude certain dinosaurs and birds, that is! Still, it sounds like a fascinating find.
