Ardipithecus (That We Know Of) | The Evolution of Us I Lindsay Nikole
In the dust of Ethiopia’s Middle Awash, a team uncovered fossils that redefined our roots. I followed their work on Ardi and Kadabba, early hominins that walked upright in woodlands long before humanity took shape. Their discovery proves evolution isn’t simple or linear it’s a winding trail of adaptation, survival, and chance that connects us to creatures we once thought were nothing like us. A huge thanks to the team for helping bring this video to life!
