Pat gets an ancient no-prize for bringing us news of another significant hominid fossil disovery in the Afar:

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.

Normally "cranium" implies just the dome of the skull, but the article goes on to imply they also have bits of the face as well.
