New Ancestor Grasped at Walking





Before recently, scientists had not discovered any other hominid lineage that lived at the same time as Lucy.  However, recently they have found another lineage around the same time that had a grasping big toe but no arch.  It is expected that they could walk short distances.  It is hopeful that this will further the study of hominid feet, which at present time we know very little about.
