It can be shown for the first time after a near complete skull of Australopithecus anamensis was found in Ethiopia.
The ape-like adult male was about 5ft and weighed about 100lbs.
Females were about 3ft 5in and around 62lbs.
An upper jaw was found first. Dr Yohannes Haile-Selassie, of Cleveland Museum of Natural History, told journal Nature: “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted the rest.
"It was a dream come true.”
"This is a game changer in our understanding of human evolution during the Pliocene."
Professor Fred Spoor, an expert in anatomy at London's Natural History Museum, said the skull is "a great addition to the fossil record."
Prof Spoor, who was not involved in the study, added: "This cranium looks set to become another celebrated icon of human evolution."

Right, so why hasn’t the human eye evolved and changed from what it was like 3.8 million years ago.
What would the difference be between Hominid eyes and other Primates? Something I had not heard before and want to learn.
“This cranium looks set to become another celebrated icon of human evolution.”.....
Until Jesus, the Creator, comes back and knocks all this evolution malarkey into a cocked hat.

Hint: Some here believe she will step in to save the Democrat’s nomination for President.
Good catch! Actually, for a 4-5 ft Hominid, or even a 4-5 foot primate it looks way too small. I know brain cases and brains increased in size after this, but that looks far far too small as a prerequisite. I honestly think it is possible this is being misclassified.
Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!
If you look at the eyes of say, a chimpanzee, there’s no white.

Since the nose doesn’t remain, how do they know it
was so flat??
Other than that it’s very human.
‘Squatch is a little closer to human than that guy. But a whole lot bigger!
More flesh around the eyes covering the white then? Never thought about it, Thank you. Could that be one of the defining differences between hominids and primates though?
It could be George Burns - he had a teeny, monkey head.
