All australopitecines have been discovered in East Africa, just like me. We traveled as nomads on foot and upright which helped us carry their children and spot oncoming dangers.

Having opposable thumbs means that the tip of the thumb can cross the palm of the hand. The necessity and luxury of opposable thumbs is crucial when building tools and gathering food. I can't imagine what it would be like to not of been able to pick up a stone or break off a branch for a little snack. Me being a Homo habilis, I was the first hominid to make stone tools.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, he had little education but strived for a rewarding career. His father died so his mother was forced to work as a cleaning lady to support the family. Johanson was accepted into the University of Illinois at Urbaba- Champaign and later transferred to the University of Chicago where he received his Master's and Ph.D. He became a Professor of Anthropology and traveled to Africa in 1970, where he discovered ME during his visit to Ethiopia.
