Evidence of the Missing Link Found?

Scientists in northeastern Ethiopia recently discovered a skull that they think may be evidence of the missing link between Homo erectus and modern man. The hominid cranium — found in two pieces and believed to be between 500,000 and 250,000 years old — comes from a very significant period and is very close to the appearance of the anatomically modern human, said Sileshi Semaw, director of the Gona Paleoanthropological Research Project in Ethiopia
