Paleontologist Johansen bringing human origins lecture to UAA

Next week, the incoming freshman class at the University of Alaska Anchorage will be treated to a lecture by one of the world's foremost experts on human origins -- Dr. Donald Johansen, the discoverer of the oldest human fossils. Dr. Johansen arrives on a wave of major news in his research field -- the discovery that two different species of early humans co-existed at about the same time, about a million and a half years ago.Steve Heimel, APRN - Anchorage
