New Human Ancestor Discovered in South Africa

-
Within a deep and narrow cave in South Africa, paleoanthropologist Lee Berger and his team found fossil remains belonging to the newest member of our human family. The Homo naledi discovery adds another exciting chapter to the human evolution story by introducing an ancestor that was primitive but shared physical characteristics with modern humans.

 

Because the cave system where the bones were located was extremely difficult to access, it could be speculated that these hominins practiced a behavior previously believed to be modern: that of deliberately disposing of their dead underground.

It’s been a long road for Arnold Schwarzenegger. From working out in ice cold temperatures, to winning Mr. Olympia, to become an action star, to becoming the Governor of California, you don’t get a more diverse and awesome success story than Arnold’s. But what I’m particularly impressed with are the Governor’s old days, before he was a movie star. The guy absolutely loved chicks and showing off in front of them. He was actually similar to his Conan character. Plus he loved to party. Any time the dude wasn’t bench pressing he was hitting on ladies and doing “other things.” Here are some awesome old school pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger: Is she really that short?
