"She could almost walk upright, but had a smaller brain, similar to that of a modern chimpanzee. An ancient liberal?"Sounds like Nancy Pelosi, Dem, California!

It is estimated that Taung weighed around 10 to 12 kilograms. After killing the child, the eagle would have waited for the troop of hominids to move away before disembowelling it, eating some of the carcass, then carrying it off to its nest, from where the skull was eventually kicked out, Berger said.Even though they're not H. sapiens I feel sorry for them!

"
The Taung child, only three-and-a-half years old, was a member of Australopithecus africanus, a species of bipedal hominid and an early human ancestor."Seems to have an awful lot of permanent teeth for a three-and-a-half year old.
Not that I'm skeptical, or anything. ;^)
