Northern Tanzania and the Afar region of Ethiopia have yielded some of the most famous and informative glimpses into hominin evolution. All of the following are true about fossil finds in these areas EXCEPT that
A. the Laetoli site in northern Tanzania yielded a series of fossilized footprints.
B. although the fossils from these two regions were deposited half a million years apart, their many resemblances justify including them all as part of the same species, Homo habilis.
C. Lucy, a tiny hominin female who lived around 3 m.y.a., was found in the Hadar site in the Afar region of Ethiopia.
D. the fossils from both Laetoli and Hadar, although clearly hominin, were similar in many ways to chimps and gorillas.
E. the fossils from both Laetoli and Hadar are representative of Au. afarensis.
