Professor Lee Berger, a palaeoanthropologist at the University of the Witwatersrand speaks to journalists in Johannesburg explaining how an African crowned eagle preyed on our ancestors 2 million years ago January 12, 2006. Scientists announced on Thursday they had definitive proof that the "Taung child", a 2-million year old apeman skull famed as one of the most dramatic human evolutionary finds, was killed and eaten by an eagle.
