Subject: [DNA] new hominid Kenya Man
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 21:47:49 -0600


Hi,

I was excited to look at the March 22 issue of Nature (it's online) re the
new 3.5 million year old Kenya Man. See the 2 articles at
http://www.nature.com/nature/links/010322/010322-1.html . The 2nd article
tries to put all these hominids into a family tree, with lots of question
marks. Maybe now I have found my missing ancestor. Too bad DNA is not
currently recoverable on a fossil this old. Wait til the techniques are
refined in 10 years! You know, the timing is impeccable because I am
reading Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza's book "Genes, Peoples, and Languages",
the Out of Africa theory, etc. What timing!!!
