Let's just say that this one is an adult and without a doubt had children and a lineage of at least A. afarensis grandchildren behind them, and going off that A. afarensis is for sure a direct ancestor to our species. Is there a way to tell maybe the percentage chance that they are a blood relative to me?
Or, if that's too far away from modern day, perhaps a homo erectus skull (same deal as before) before they migrated out of Africa?
(Apologies if wrong flair)
After which he would look up at the sky and say, "Argh! I can't stand it! I can't stand it!"

Did the A. Afarensis prefer climbing on trees (gripping foot) or did he/she prefer walking -> shorter toes than chimpanzees?
Prior to her discovery, a fierce debate waged about what came first, our large brains or bipedalism, the ability to walk upright on two feet? Or simply put, what first made man man? Many thought our oldest ancestor would stand tall, with a large brain that he used to conquer the plains after he left the forest.
Then in 1974 Lucy, named for the Beatles song "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," came out of nowhere to forever alter the public's perception of what the missing link really was: She had a small-ape like head, she was a scavenger not a hunter, and most suprising of all, she was a full adult female inhabiting a body the size of a modern day child.
I'm pretty sure she's the inspiration for the "Children of the Forest" on the show.
There's a theory that our myths about elves, dwarves and giants are based on a collective memory from an era when different species of hominins shared the earth at the same time. Instead of re-using old myths, in this case it seems GRRM may have gone back to the source; Crannogmen sure sounds alot like cro-magnon, the giants are the spitting image of Neanderthals.
I'm positive the "Old Gods" and similar myths about r'hllor and azhor ahai have roots in the Stone Age. We've seen the writing on the cave wall.
Can someone please explain the structure of the hand, and how it worked and its different types of grips.
