Finding Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba specimens a tremendous challenge Lakes, forest areas, volcanic rocks and recent sediments cover about 87 percent of the present-day Middle Awash area.

Haile-Selassie believes Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba was about the size of a modern-day chimpanzee and about 20 percent larger than the “Lucy ” specimen.

The find is mainly of teeth, pieces of jaw, hand and feet, and is dated between 4.32 and 4.51 million years old. The remnants belong to Ardipithecus ramidus, an enigmatic hominid whose remains ...
