Remember that weird 3.4-million-year-old foot fossil found in Ethiopia? Scientists finally cracked the case: it belonged to Australopithecus deyiremeda, a hominin that lived alongside the famous 'Lucy.' Unlike Lucy, this species had a grasping toe for climbing trees and a totally different diet. Turns out, our ancient relatives were way more diverse than we thought—multiple species, different lifestyles, all sharing the same turf. Human evolution just got a lot messier (and cooler)! #Science #Archaeology #HumanEvolution
