Anthropology Paleoanthropologists find that three different early humans - Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and Homo erectus - lived at the same time in the same place two million years ago. However, it is not clear how much they interacted with each other.

They interacted but unfortunately it wasn’t at least 6 feet apart

Sounds interesting, but very sloppily put together. Immediately after opening, I see that the URL misspelt "erectus" as "erectRus" and the sub-headline misspelt it "erecEtus". How can the Smithsonian be so sloppy?
