RE: The Taung child the Australopithecenes rocky start.

in #science7 years ago

I remember when you first started this taung child post @gavvet. I basically had no idea what it meant at that time and I specifically told you I'll go do more research on it.

Well, I researched about it and I learnt a lot. I learnt how Dart discovered there skull and cling tenaciously to the believe that it was the skull of a Australopithecus even when others argued that it wasn't that Infact it was just a normal young ape's brain. Most of the believe was as a result of the Piltdown man who had a large brain leading others to refute the Australopithecus claim. But all that change when more people carried out researches and affirmed that truly the Taung Child was part of the human family tree.


Thanks for sharing today's post. As usual, I've learnt new things from it.

Happy Steeming
