A more precise facial reconstruction has been done of one of the earliest homonins and it's amazing:

5. Some of it will need to be rewritten

Fossil remains now go back 4.4 million years, predating Lucy by nearly 2 million years. https://www.livescience.com/nearly-complete-lucy-ancestor-skull-unearthed.html

I just wonder if we'll ever find remains of the creature that predates the split between homonins and chimpanzees.

6. Yea, it's pretty old

I bought it when I was stationed in Philadelphia.

This kind of science absolutely fascinates me.
