Newly-found ancient human rewrites story of evolution
A team of researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of ancient human in Israel. The archaeological finds include part of a skull and jaw from an unknown group of hominins who lived alongside our species around 140,000 years ago. The study suggests that this ancient human, called the Nesher Ramla Homo, was the direct ancestor of Neanderthals.
