Ardi our oldest ancestor.

It is female, weighs about 50 kilograms and is about 120 centimeters tall. This is Ardi, the oldest ancestor of human beings found in Ethiopia in 1992 and presented in society 17 years later.

On October 1, 2009, in a special edition of Science, an international team of scientists thoroughly described, for the first time, Ardipithecus ramidus, a hominid species that lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia.
In this way, Ardi dethroned Lucy, a female partial skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis, found in 1974, who lived 3.2 million years ago and which assumed the rest oldest discovered to date.

This finding is considered one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 21st century in the area of archaeology and anthropology.
