A 'new species' of primitive man has been discovered. Scientists have discovered this species in the Afar region of Ethiopia. The jawbone and teeth were recovered by the researchers. These are from 3.3 million to 3.5 million years ago. The newly discovered species is believed to have coexisted with other human species in ancient times. After their recovery, scientists say that the human 'family tree' is much more complex and impenetrable than what was thought for so long. A paper on the new species has been published in the journal Nature.
Scientists have given the new species a scientific name, 'Australopithecus deiremeda'. It means 'close relative' in the regional language of the people of the Afar region of Ethiopia.
The remains of a new species of ancient man are found of 4 people. Each of them had the shape of a chimpanzee and a human. Australopithecus deirameda may have been like that.
According to the news media, Yohannes Haile Selassie, a director of the physical anthropology department of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in the United States, said that the obtained teeth and the jaws of the two paws were examined in the light of anatomy and morphology, and it was found that there are some obvious differences between them. Haile Selassie led the study.
Haile Selassie also said, 'The newly discovered human jaws were very large. However, their teeth were quite small compared to the jaws. And the incisors (gums) were very small.' From the fossils found, it is estimated that 4 species of humans lived at the same time, according to media reports citing the researchers.
