Human Origins
Recent discoveries by fossil scientists may provide the earliest documented evidence of toolmaking, and push the origin of homo sapiens back more than 400,000 years. In this hour of Science Friday, we'll talk about these latest findings and the evidence for human evolution, with Donald Johanson, the paleoanthropologist who discovered the famous Lucy skeleton in 1974.
