Australopithecus Sediba Child's Fossil
Human-Like Face for A. Sediba?
A frontal view of the A. sediba child skull suggests the new human-ancestor species had some surprisingly human-like features. It's face, for example, is flatter than other known australopithecines. Also, A. sediba had small teeth and a surprisingly human-like, as opposed to chimpanzee-like, nose.
Australopithecus Sediba's World
A. sediba lived in a patchwork of grasslands and woods in what's now South Africa. The generally flat landscape was broken up by small hills and cliffs, some of which contained caves like the one pictured above, which is close to the fossil-discovery site.

A remarkably well preserved empty brain case for a two-million-year-old fossil, this megalomaniac skull belongs to Obummeraca comunistata seditionata, a previously unknown species of ape-like creature that may have been a direct ancestor of modern despots, according to a new study in Science.
Scientists think this particular Obummeraca comunistata seditionata fossil is from a male between 35 and 49 years old. The deformed ugly fossils were found in the remnants of a subterranean South Chicago cave system alongside the color-clashing fossil remains of an adult female in her 40s.
“It’s the opinion of my colleagues and I that O.C.S., [Obummeraca comunistata seditionata] may very well be the gall stone that unlocks our understanding of this idiot Homo,” the biological group that includes deviant humans, study leader Lee Berger, of the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, said in a statement, referring to the artifact that helped decipher ancient Kenyan gas station restroom graffiti.
