Wśród
niesłychanie bogatego, zróżnicowanego i pięknego dziedzictwa przyrodniczego,
pod intensywnie błękitnym niebem Afryki, Etiopia opowiada światu niezwykłą
historię.
Określenie
"Kolebka Ludzkości" to rzadki przywilej i w różnych
momentach historii różne kraje przypisywały sobie ten zaszczyt... W miarę
jednak, jak paleoantropolodzy poznawali dogłębnie coraz dalsze okresy
naszej prehistorii... to okazywało się na podstawie szczegółowo zebranych
dowodóposzukiwanw, iż to właśnie Etiopia była domem dla najwcześniejszych przodków
człowieka.
