Researchers disclosed on Wednesday that they found a 3.8 million years old human skull in the Afar region of Ethiopia – the same region where the 3.2 million years old Lucy was found in 1974.

Professor Yohannes Haileselassie, an Ethiopian scientist, discovered the oldest human fossil, as this point in time, during his search in the areas between Kewaranso and Mille areas of Afar region.

The researcher says the skull shows the face of the primitive (prehistoric) man and belongs to the Australopithecus Anamensis man – lived the period between 4.1 million to 3.6 million years.

A report by the BBC says that the new finding could disprove the evolutionary theory.

    Humble Commentary, 30 Aug 2019

    “human fossil discovered in Ethiopia”.
    * What does it mean to Ethiopia in the environment of the 21st Century?
    * Does it have any sociological meaning to ‘modern Ethiopia?
    * Will this discovery be a reminder of oneness of Ethiopia?
    * Will the archeological discovery be taught in Ethiopian Schools, under History and/or Humanity Classes using indigenous teachers and common language rather than foreign teachers and language?

    * If not, will it give a green light to Ethiopians to divide themselves into unlimited pieces?

    * And what will be the benefit of such disintegration on the population of the 100 +plus million people of Ethiopia in the 21st Century?

    * Who really benefits out of such disintegration?

    Conclusion
    May the Ethiopian people be guided by super natural force for their own benefit in peace and tranquility. If, on the other hand, HUMAN BEINGS, in general, are mysteriously inclined to upheaval and suffering, the Ethiopian wisdom rests the case: ምከረው ፡ ምከረው ፣ ካልሰማ መከራ ይምከረው ። It fits very well to the so-called “under developed” societies who seem to latch to the lowest level of Life, regardless of the increasing number of indigenous Intellectuals with Doctor of Philosophy (Ph D) Degrees from well known Universities around the Globe. It is a mysterious so-called ‘civilized ‘phenomenon, where the indigenous WISDOM of the past is ignored A well known African Leader with a Ph D Degree turning himself into absolute dictatorship called his Africa “shithole” Continent — in agreement with the president of the most powerful country in the world, at the present time. Indeed, “Cry, My Beloved Africa”. THE END
