Episode 126: Todd and Paul Talk Selam!! Another hominin like Lucy?
About this episode
Todd and Paul discuss the Selam fossil and its implications for creationism and evolution.
Lucy may be the most famous Australopithecus fossil, but Selam is much better preserved. Researchers discovered this fossil in 2000 just across the river from where Lucy was found, and the recent exhibit at the Czech National Museum in Prague included this fossil as well as Lucy. In this episode, Paul and Todd review all the details from this skeleton, including a part that is completely unique in Australopithecus discoveries. What's the creationist angle on all this? You'll have to tune in to find out!Materials for this EpisodeWood, Todd Charles and Brummel, P. S.
