Looks like our very earliest ancestors weren't really all that bright. Not particularly surprising, since basically all the evidence points to large brains coming very late to the hominid evolutionary game. Mmm... Brainss...

For perspective, the dinosaurs crapped out about 65 mya, and the earliest homina-homina-hominid found so far lived around 4.2 mya.
