The Washington Post today carried this report summarizing the recent discovery of a nearly complete skeleton of a juvenile Australopithicene africanus. Electronic scanning of the teeth has revealed the child to be female, about three years old at the time of death. It's thought she may have been caught in a flash flood of some sort. While technically not the child of the famous fossil "Lucy", she is from the same species. The find is in excellent condition and should provide many answers about how the children of our earliest ancestors lived.
