Getting to know Ida
Just finished watching the History Channel’s special on Ida, our 47,000,000 years old common ancestor. All I can say is that it will leave you breathless!
I particularly enjoyed how they explain this discovery in relation to Lucy and I was also pleasantly surprised that Donald Johanson is a professor at Arizona State.

Also worth mentioning is the discussion of the role of evolution in all of this (towards the end of the show). Professor Johanson does a remarkable job of presenting a candid take on the fabricated “controversy” surrounding evolution.
