When you look at other African countries with rich fossil records – like Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa – you don’t see the same level of participation, it’s always some white dude, So Ethiopia takes the lead, and that is a great source of pride for us. The discoveries from the Middle Awash have literally rewritten the history of humanity.
