New Humans

[Nosmo King]

A new type of ancient human has been discovered in Israel.

"Researchers working in Israel have identified a previously unknown type of ancient human that lived alongside our species more than 100,000 years ago.

They believe that the remains uncovered near the city of Ramla represent one of the "last survivors" of a very ancient human group.

The finds consist of a partial skull and jaw from an individual who lived between 140,000 and 120,000 years ago.

Details have been published in the journal Science."

A skull found in 1933 has just been re-examined and scientists believe it could be a new human species.

"Chinese researchers have unveiled an ancient skull that could belong to a completely new species of human.

The team has claimed it is our closest evolutionary relative among known species of ancient human, such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus.

Nicknamed "Dragon Man", the specimen represents a human group that lived in East Asia at least 146,000 years ago.

It was found at Harbin, north-east China, in 1933, but only came to the attention of scientists more recently.

An analysis of the skull has been published in the journal The Innovation."

Not a problem, i didnt really know where to post the first one so i made a new thread, im sure it will get merged at some point.
I quite often see the same stories posted on multiple threads, thats life here, lots of threads and stories that are relavent to 2 or more different ones.
