First fossil discovery of branched species of human ancestors. It is a piece of bone in the lower part of the jaw. It also includes five teeth. This fossil (fossil) was recovered by digging the soil in Lady-Geraru area of Afar region of Ethiopia. The researchers named the jawbone LD threefifty-one.
Researchers claim that this is the oldest fossil of Homo genus. Humans (scientific name - Homo sapiens) also belong to the same genus. This research report was recently published in the journal Nature. The discovery suggests that human ancestors lived near Lady-Geraru's open grasslands, lakes, rivers and active volcanoes about 2.8 million years ago. The time is 400,000 years earlier than previously thought by scientists.
Brian Villmoyer, the head of the research team and a professor at the University of Nevada, USA, told the media, 'This is the first fossil of a branched species of human ancestors. This fossil was recovered in 2013.
According to media reports, the researchers who saw this new fossil in Ethiopia believe that the animal evolved relatively quickly. This fossil specimen certainly raises more questions than it answers. The researchers believe that these questions can be answered through further research. So researchers are researching it.
