Ardipithecus ramidus: 15 or 4,400,000 years late.


Carl Zimmer (at The Loom) and Matthew Cobb (at Why Evolution is True) have nice short write-ups (with links) on Ardipithecus ramidus, our 4.4 million year old cousin.

Update: John Hawks' weblog has the most detailed runthrough and independent analysis of the Ardipithecus papers I've seen (starting here). If your interested in Ardi, this is the place to go.
