Boston University Dialogues in Biological Anthropology: Proclaiming Ardipithecus- Part 1
Description: Found in Ethiopia in 1994, a mysterious 4.4-million-year-old skeleton was proclaimed in 2009 as an early human ancestor that was an upright biped on the ground and a quadruped in the trees, proving that there was never a long-armed, arm-swinging ape in the human ancestry. Two leading experts on human fossils, William Jungers from Stony Brook University and William Kimbel from Arizona State University, debate what the fossils of Ardipithecus mean and how they have transformed our understanding of human evolution.

Excellent introduction to set the stage and give context. Thank you.
Really fascinating. The evidence for Ardi to be on the hominin branch is very well presented and imo the LCA of humans and chimps could very well be a swinging ancestor from which Ardi is materially different.
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all of it 59:29
Tooo many commercials, makes it almost impossible to watch
Not convinced. Still a great find, but were they looking too hard?
Here we go again
