The time-warp family who walk on all fours

An extraordinary family who walk on all fours are being hailed as the breakthrough discovery which could shed light on the moment Man first stood upright. Scientists believe that the five brothers and sisters found in Turkey could hold unique insights into human evolution.

I think that if you look long enough and hard enough you will always find something weird or strange on this planet. Or any other planet for that matter.
