Dating to just over four million years ago, the fossils represent unambiguous evidence for human evolution.

All (three species) were able to be found in one place, proving that evolution is a fact. Successive records that we see here prove that the Afar region is the origin of human kind.

We have proved that one (species) is transforming into the other, so this evidence is important to show that there is human evolution... that human evolution is a fact and not a hypothesis.

For the first time, we found fossils that allow us to connect the first phase of human evolution and the second phase.

Those early humans fed on soft material such as fruits. Their teeth did not have a thick enamel.

Unless biology is geared toward an evolution perspective, we are going to a dead-end. Our science courses have to be geared toward evolution ...[and] science education has to be religion-free.
