27 mayo 2015

A new relative joins ‘Lucy’ on the human family tree. Scientists have discovered a 3.3 to 3.5 million-year-old new human ancestor species. Upper and lower jaw fossils recovered from the Woranso-Mille area of the Afar region of Ethiopia have been assigned to the new species Australopithecus deyiremeda. This hominin lived alongside the famous ‘Lucy’s’ species, Australopithecus afarensis.
