1.0 out of 5 stars Make it Work Review By A customeron January 3, 2000 Format: Paperback This book was a craft book. It had almost no info. There were about 10 paragraphs of info in the entire book. I felt it was a waist of money because I needed the book for research not Halloween. I will keep the book because it dose have neat crafts. I thought I would use a lot of index cards(I put the info for research on them)while useing this book but I couldn't even fill up 2. It is a good craft book but not a good book for research. I hope this review helped.

Odd that they have the black kid as pharaoh in the cover but inside as white, both wear the double crown

Kantis: A new Australopithecus site on the shoulders of the Rift Valley near Nairobi, Kenya Emma Mbua ... Masato Nakatsukasa 2016 JHE 94:2844 doi 10.1016/j.jhevol.2016.01.006 < http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhevol.2016.01.006>
Most Plio-Pleistocene sites in the Gregory Rift Valley that have yielded abundant fossil hominins lie on the Rift Valley floor. Here we report a new Pliocene site, Kantis, on the shoulder of the Gregory Rift Valley, it extends the geographical range of Au.afarensis to the highlands of Kenya. This species (sites in Ethiopia, Tanzania & possibly Kenya) is believed to be adapted to a wide spectrum of habitats, from open grassland to woodland.
