A South African anthropologist said Thursday his research into the death nearly 2 million years ago of an ape-man shows human ancestors were hunted by birds.
"These types of discoveries give us real insight into the past lives of these human ancestors, the world they lived in and the things they feared," Lee Berger, a paleo-anthropologist at Johannesburg's University of Witwatersrand, said as he presented his conclusions about a mystery that has been debated since the remains of the possible human ancestor known as the Taung child were discovered in 1924.

Re: Nevermind bird flu
Mon, May 22, 2006 - 11:54 AMbut what evidence? not much detail... seems more likely that the dead were picked at by birds to me. Just like humans more likely lived in trees and not caves as long thought. We finally figured out the bones in caves were brought in by carnivores... the teeth marks and ground bones gave it away.
