No joke! Want to see a picture of your great-great-great-(etc)-grandmother? (link)

OMG!!! it looks exactly like my great grand mother - IN-LAW!!! shhh, don't tell my wife!

Grandmas are so embarrassing. Tell her to at least put her bra on.

Wow WTF, CNN sucks so bad, did those journalists ever finish college?

"Scientists believe that the fossilized remains (...)support beliefs that humans and chimpanzees evolved separately from a common ancestor."
NO SHIT??!!!

Awesome. She needs a shave I think.

Can one's grandmother be another species?
Sounds like a weird thing to say. I guess, technically...

Hahhaah if I wanted to see a photo of my great great greats id just open the trunk at home

A *naked* picture, you could have said!

Some further information about her:

"Ardi (ARA-VP-6/500) is the fossilized skeletal remains of a female Ardipithecus ramidus, estimated from radiometric dating to be 4.4 million years old. Fossils of A. ramidus were first found in Ethiopia in 1992, but it has taken 17 years to assess their significance. Ardi is a more primitive hominid than the well-known Australopithecine skeleton, Lucy. Standing at 4 feet tall (120 cm) tall and weighing around 110 pounds (50 kg), Ardi was slightly shorter than Lucy but almost double her weight. The skeleton was discovered at a site called Aramis in the arid badlands near the Awash River in Ethiopia in 1994. Although it is not known whether Ardi's species developed into Homo sapiens, the discovery is of great significance as Ardi is the oldest known hominid fossil. The discovery was made by a team of scientists led by UC Berkeley anthropologist, Tim D. White and was analyzed by an international group of scientists that included Owen Lovejoy heading the biology team. On October 1, 2009, the journal Science published an open-access collection of eleven articles, detailing many aspects of A. ramidus and its environment.

Researchers infer from the form of Ardi's pelvis and limbs and the presence of her opposable big toe that she was a facultative biped: bipedal when moving on the ground, but quadrupedal when moving about in tree branches. Ardi had a more primitive walking ability than later hominids, and could not walk or run for long distances. The teeth suggest omnivory, and are more generalized than those of modern apes.
The word Ardi means "ground floor" and the word ramid means "root" in the Afar language."
