Interesting stuff, if a bit hysterical as pointed out. It's quite exciting to still be seeing these mad shifts in palaeoarchaeology, though it's a bit troublesome making grand explanations out of tiny sample sizes. This is a jawbone and a tooth.

I remember reading Don Johanson's book about Lucy, and how she was the oldest complete skeleton ever found (>3m years). They found 40% of her bones.
