Odd Ancient South African Human "Ancestor" Is Young

Jim Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers:
the Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
the Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
the Times is read by people who actually do run the country;
