In the dusty scrub of northern Kenya, a perfected preserved skeleton of a boy was found who had been -1.4 million years earlier: homo erectus. The missing link was not what scientists had been expecting. Homo erectus was not a hairy ape with a human face: quite the opposite. He looked like us, but had the mental ability of a modern one-year-old. This walking hominid had evolved into a super-predator.
