PREFECTORIAL BOARD ; RETIREMENT DAY
US FORM 5 PREFECTS FINALLY RETIRES! whoop-de-doo*
It was also the Form 1's Installation. Our retirement day was scheduled after the prefect's dinner which was like a few months ago, but we only had it on Thursday. talk about keeping on schedule. pfft. Since when does retirement happen after trials? haha. ah well. It was nothing grand but we were all smiles the whole way. had our last 'runway' walk down the assembly. heh. A day to remember, defo :) Being a prefect has been such a wonderful experience and i've got no regrets at all. The board is like one big family. It's pretty sad knowing that I wont be in school next year. mm.

Pictures thanks to many people.
My camera was still in repair ;/

HUMAN EVOLUTION
is such an interesting topic.
.
A kind of fossil nicknamed "Ardi" is the latest discovery towards the human evolution and is said to be the earliest skeleton known from the human branch of the primate family tree. The branch includes Homosapiens as well as species closer to humans than to chimpanzees and bonobos. This announcement is the result of a 17-year investigation.
.
I copied this article from The Singapore Straits Times website which The Star had the same or almost the same one printed out on papers today.
.
WASHINGTON - THE skeleton of an early human who lived 4.4 million years ago shows that humans did not evolve from chimpanzee-like ancestors, researchers reported on Thursday.
Instead, the missing link - the common ancestor of both humans and modern apes - was different from both, and apes have evolved just as much as humans have from that common ancestor, they said.
The researchers stressed that 'Ardi' may now be the oldest known hominid, but she was not the missing link. 'At 4.4 million years ago we found something pretty close to it,' said Tim White of the University of California Berkeley, who helped lead the research team.
They described the partial skeleton of a female representative of Ardipithecus ramidus. The hominid species lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia.
The 4-foot (1.2 metre) tall creature is a million years older than 'Lucy' - the skeleton of another species called Australopithecus afarensis that is one of the best-known pre-humans.
Genetics suggest that humans and our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees, diverged 6 million to 7 million years ago, although some research suggests this may have happened 4 million years ago.
'Ardi' is clearly a human ancestor and her descendants did not grow up to be chimpanzees or other apes, the researchers report in the journal Science.
She had an ape-like head and opposable toes that allowed her to climb trees easily, but her hands, wrists and pelvis show she strode like a modern human and did not knuckle-walk like a chimp or a gorilla.
But 'Ardi' is 'even more primitive than a chimpanzee,' Dr White said. So chimps and gorillas do not knuckle-walk because they are more primitive than humans - they have evolved this characteristic that helps them live in their forest homes.
Dr White, Berhane Asfaw of Rift Valley Research Service in Addis Ababa and a large team analysed all the bones of Ardi and found she might have been more peace-loving than modern chimpanzees. She does not have the long, sharp canines that chimps use to fight, for instance.
And males and females have similar-sized teeth, suggesting more equality than seen among modern apes. But her brain, while small, is positioned in a way more similar to that of Australopithecus and modern humans, suggesting more human-like visual and spatial perception. -- REUTERS
