Re: New finds adds information
What excites me is that the pelvis is for the same fossil as the front portion, so there should be no complaints about mashing together fossils from different finds to make a skeleton based on assumption. But they probably will anyway (see Lucy's knee "controversy")

How do they know it's the same individual? The Sciencedaily article doesn't seem to make this clear.
