Questions Answered!
My discovery has lead to the understanding of many questions that had been asked by thousands over the years.
"When does the history of humanity begin?"
"What were the earliest humans like?"
Since there are no written records of prehistoric people in existence, scientists have to rely on discoveries like myself to answer these questions.

Occupation I have, Education I offer others, Setbacks I face, and My Achievements
Today, I am used in studies to find out the secrets of humans. I 'work' as a model for the study of early human life in the Ethiopian National Museum in Abbis Ababa. People of all ages come to see the marvels my skeleton offers and try to understand the complexity of the human existence. The photo above is myself on display in the museum in Ethiopia. They have added the cast of my bones to a hypothesized model of what the rest of my skeleton may have looked like. The casts of my bones are studied at different universities and science labs around the world and are on display for the public to see in many well-known museums. I am not the average skeleton you find just lying around in Ethiopia.
Some setbacks I or people who have studied me over the decades have been the delicacy of my bones because they can't be used in experiments or be displayed because the fossilized tissue is so fragile. Another setback is the dilemma scientists face when determining the actual time of history when I lived. The process used to determine the age of fossils can only narrow the time down to a few million years for a fossil as old as I am. A few million years can prove to make a big difference in the study of prehistory.
With my discovery, I have achieved some astonishing titles and have led to answer many questions of early humans. I am the oldest fossilized homoid known to man and I have proudly become a house hold name to millions around the world.
