The actual facts in the article are sketchy, to say the least. But the picture is convincing. However the picture is an artist’s recreation of what the discoverer WANTS the fossil to look like. Science is based on observation and measurement. How can a “scientist” state what happened 3.5 mya? We have no soft tissue, hair, facial expressions, nor articulation, yet this is what is portrayed. This picture and article is propaganda and not science.
