or hominid, known as Australopithecus afarensis.

You can pay big bucks to go to school to learn that archeology language or you can save your money and just call here the 'short one'...

The new fossil find consists mainly of jawbone fragments, upper and lower teeth, and a thigh bone.

Not much to go on...Maybe it was a German Shepherd...

Before you shell out the big bucks to know what you're talking about, it might be useful to learn the difference between archaeology and anthropology. Just a suggestion...

Or you could shell out the big bucks and learn how to distinguish hominid and canine bones.

And maybe you're unaware of the just how stupid someone would have to be to make such an elementary mistake.

Look, if you have a legitimate objection to the findings, let's hear it, but the sort of "I don't know anything about paleontology but I'm going to hand-wave away the results of those who do" stuff that has been rolling in on this thread is just juvenile.

From the description this new fossil species might have been the first creationist.
