This is a very informative and educational interview. I was specially fascinated by Dr. Zeresenay’s explanations not only about the fossil but also the DNA evidence: “DNA evidence shows that every human being living in any part of our planet today can trace back his or her ancestry to a woman who lived somewhere in southern Ethiopia 100,000 years ago.” When you stop to think about it, this is mind blowing. Now, only if we can figure it out why we remained behind in the so many ways compare to many other countries, even though we have been around much longer than all of them. Thank you Dr. Zeresani for the information and thank you Liben Eabisa and Tadias for well prepared questions. What made me truly happy about this interview is to watch two fellow Ethiopians (a journalist and an expert) hold such a thoughtful and well informed discussion on major global news of our day. Proud of you and please, please keep this up!

Thank you!

Dear Liben,

A great interview. What is fascinating about the interview is not only the new information we learned about the beginnings and evolution of human beings in Ethiopia in particular and Africa in general, but also the fact that among the generators of the scientific paleoanthropological information are outstanding Ethiopian scientists such as Dr. Zeresenay Alemseged.
