Discovered a new species of ancient man

During excavations in Ethiopia archaeologists have found the newest, previously unknown species of ancient inhabitant of our planet, who lived 3.5 million years ago.

This finding allowed the researchers to assume that the emergence of the modern inhabitants of our planet has a much more difficult story than he was previously.

During excavations in the area Anpar in Ethiopia scientists found the jawbone and teeth of a new, previously unknown ancient inhabitant of our planet, informs "Bi-Bi-si". The researchers present that he lived about 3.5 million years ago and different from those already known to science primitive types.

It is expected that the discovered bones are regarded as the remains of 4 people that had the characteristics of both the planet and the apes. New look researchers dubbed Australopithecus deyiremeda that the local afar language means "near relative". As outlined by Dr. Yohannes Haile Selassie from the natural history Museum of the United States, found astralite has a pretty strong jaw. Besides all this, he has far less teeth than in all the known ancestors of the planet.

A fresh discovery has allowed anthropologists to assume that the emergence of modern man was not a straight-line basis, as was listed earlier. Probably all 4 real-world view of our ancestors lived in the same time. Now scientists it remains to be seen, avoided if different types of the ancient inhabitants of our planet each other or they lived together.

Therefore, at the moment there are 4 types of human ancestors:

Australopithecus afarensis, "kanianthra flatface" Australopithecus Bahr El hatalsky and found not so long ago Australopithecus deyiremeda. The remains of Australopithecus afarensis were seen in 1974, also in Ethiopia. To this type belongs to the skeleton of females with Lucy. For a long time it was believed that our contemporary has directly descended from Australopithecus afarensis. In 1995 in Chad found the remains of Australopithecus Bahr El gesellscha, and in 2001 in Kenya found the remains of kenyanthropus flatface".
