Kermit Pattison’s Fossil Men is a behind-the-scenes account of the discovery of the oldest skeleton of a human ancestor, named Ardi — a find that shook the world of paleoanthropology and radically altered our understanding of human evolution.
Radiometric dating of nearby rocks indicated the skeleton, classified as Ardipithecus ramidus, was 4.4 million years old.
