Shoulder Bones Fuel Debate

Brought to you by Jahan


This shoulder blade is from a 3-year-old humanlike female who lived more than 3 million years ago. Scientists are studying the fossil to learn whether the creature climbed trees.

That was pretty short. All I really picked up from it was that there is some species called A. afarensis, and that they analyzed a shoulder blade from it. I really think that they could have elaborated on this. I feel like this information had the makings of a good article. It was just too short.
