Describe the first human found in norths east Africa? include Apa referencing?

The first human found in northeast Africa was a fossilized skull discovered in the Afar region of Ethiopia in 1994. This skull, known as "Ardi" or Ardipithecus ramidus, is believed to be around 4.4 million years old and is considered one of the earliest known ancestors of modern humans.

Ardi's discovery provided valuable insights into the evolution of bipedalism and the divergence of humans from other primates. The fossil remains of Ardi also shed light on the environment and behavior of early hominids in Africa.
