I feel so lucky that I find the topic of our evolution and our cousins and so on as exciting as I do. The reason I feel lucky is because it's a topic that is constantly turning out new discoveries and that makes life thrilling. Also, it feels like the rate of discovery has really exploded over the past decade or two. Remember the article about the "hobbits"? I just checked and that was 2004. Last December, Lee Berger revealed Homonaledi. Holy crap is this topic overflowing with cool news.
