Significant Fossil Discoveries
In 2006, some fossils including teeth and bones from the hand of the Australopithecus anamensis were found in Northeastern Ethiopia. This helped anthropologists fill in the missing pieces and answer more questions about how our ancestors evolved from one phase to the next. This is significant to the study of human evolution because it is important to understand the different phases of evolution and the more pieces of the puzzle we collect, the better we will be able to fully grasp the concept of how and why the different species did not survive.

I agree that this is a very important discovery of human evolution.
I agree. I think that all findings that are discovered will help us. By finding even the littlest bits can put together clues to the puzzle of human evolution.
How long ago did Australopithecus anamensis live?
