-According to ''Science'' magazine, ''ardipithecus'' is not the oldest putative hominin, but it is by far the most complete of the earliest specimens. The most recent find includes most of the skull and teeth, as well as the pelvis, hands, and feet and reveal an "intermediate" form of upright walking, considered a hallmark of hominins.  Paleoanthropologist Andrew Hill of Yale University is quoted as saying, "We thought Lucy was the find of the century but, in retrospect, it isn't."  There is not yet a consensus on the validity concerning the ability of Ardipithecus to walk upright as some anthropologists are stating there is only circumstantial evidence for upright walking.  Debate about Ardipithecus's locomotion and identity evolves but she provides the first hard evidence about the ancient hominins.<ref name="ardipithecus unveiled"></ref>
+The term ''ramid'' from ''ramidus'' means "root" in Afar, an Ethiopian language. It refers to the closeness of the species to humanity. Additionally, ''Ardi'' means "ground" or floor". White coined the genus Ardipithecus to differentiate the new genus from Australopithecus.
