I noticed you typed that in the signature box.

Presumably so that I could not edit it.

I am stunned.

Who can you trust if you cant trust a friend?

PARIS - Scientists have unearthed an intact skull from a primitive human ancestor that lived as far back as seven million years ago.

The specimen was unearthed in the windswept Djurab desert of northern Chad, 150 kilometres west of earlier pre-human discoveries. The fossil's age, cranium, jaw fragment and teeth suggest it is the earliest member of the human family, the researchers said.

The specimen, nicknamed Touma?, or "hope of life" in Africa's Goran language, doesn't look like a chimpanzee, gorilla or more recent fossil human ancestors called hominids, the researchers said.

The discovery comes from an evolutionary timeframe that has yielded few fossils. The researchers say information gained from the skull and jaws could change how scientists understand human origins.

"Touma? is arguably the most important fossil discovery in living memory, rivalling the discovery of the first 'ape-man,' Australopithecus africanus 77 years ago," wrote Nature's palaeontology editor Henry Gee.
