Ardipithecus/Australopithecus transitional form?

[Ken Kinman]

Dear All,
      Here's an interesting news story about a new fossil hominid, perhaps bridging the Ardipithecus-Australopithecus gap (sorry John, no orangutan features mentioned, but doesn't mean it has chimp features either, so who knows).  It's the bipedal features that should be the most interesting.  Also about half down the story, there is a link to a story of the just-published brain-imaging of the Flores "Hobbitt".
