ANTHRO: In the news today: Newly discovered fossils from the collection of Charles Darwin




http://news.yahoo.com/uk-scientists-lost-darwin-fossils-060025391.html

Imagine rumaging through a dusty old cabinet shoved in the corner of a forgotten storage room in the bowels of a governmental agency office and finding something like this.  Almost as exciting as kicking over a stone and finding a hominid fossil embedded in the underside (see the story of the finding of Australopitrhecus sediba).


If for no other reason than historical interest (Isn't that enough?) this is exciting, however wheo knows what will be discovered after analyzing the samples.
