I wonder if this one will turn out to not actually be a human ancestor like a few of the other "big" discoveries.

Why do people debate Evolution? Nobody debates the composition of the Sun. Nobody debates gravitational pull of bodies. Evolution is such an "obvious fact" after all.

They should have had a "Name That Sahelanthropus Tchadensis" contest. My choice would have been "Skully."

Or another four or five. Upon review, this article does state something about which I have wondered.

huh, odd

[Paulus Invictus]

The skull simply cannot be that old! It looks just like my step aunt Minnie who disappeared on a drunken safari in Africa 20 years ago. We often wondered where she went with that "white hunter."
