The styloid process is a projection of bone. Ward and her team found a styloid process at the end of a hand/wrist bone more than 1.42 million years old, indicating this anatomical feature existed more than half a million years earlier than previously known. By explanation, above, Australopithecus is an early hominin that is generally thought to be ancestral to, and predates, the Homo genus, which contains the earliest species of the human line.

The human race is older than the evolutions claim though.
This may have made the Homo erectus "limp-wristed". I suspect that liberals evolved from this creature, and the rest of us from some other line. :)
But wouldn’t it be great if we could view the Earth as it was in the distant past and actually see how these and other creatures looked? Say there are aliens on some other world millions of light years away peering at the Earth from ultra powerful telescopes. Scopes so powerful they can make out clear images of the Earth’s surface and inhabitants from such distances (likely impossible, but who knows). They would actually be able to see these things going on before their eyes, or whatever means they had for perceiving optical light waves. One at a distance of, say, 100 million light years would see live dinosaurs roaming around. 4.6 or so billion LYs, the Earth in the earliest stages of formation.
Nevertheless, I’ve always thought tentacles would be better than hands. Finger bones are so limiting, and everything has to be tailor made to them instead of the other way around. But of course, that would also mean no finger nails. That doesn’t change my mind, however.
