A 2.8-million-year-old jawbone fossil with five intact teeth unearthed in an Ethiopian desert is pushing back the dawn of humankind by about half a million years.

Scientists said on Wednesday the fossil represents the oldest known representative of the human genus Homo and appears to be a previously unknown species from the human lineage’s earliest phases.

Our species, Homo sapiens, appeared only 200,000 years ago, following a procession of others in the same genus. Until now, the oldest known remains from the human genus were about 2.3 to 2.4 million years old and from the species Homo habilis.


“Although it is probably a new species, we are awaiting more material before definitively naming a new species,” said University of Nevada, Las Vegas anthropologist Brian Villmoare, who helped lead the research published in the journal Science.

The jawbone was found in 2013 in northeastern Ethiopia’s Afar region about 40 miles (64 km) from where the remains of “Lucy,” one of the most famous fossils of a human ancestor, were discovered in 1974. Lucy’s species, Australopithecus afarensis, immediately preceded the Homo genus.

The anatomy of the new fossil, encompassing the left side of the lower jaw, suggests a close relationship with later Homo species. It boasted features including tooth shape and jaw proportions that separate early Homo lineage species from the more apelike Australopithecus. But its sloping chin still has hints of Lucy.

“At 2.8 million years ago, this places the evolution of our genus very close to 3.0 million years ago, which is when we last see Lucy’s species,” Villmoare said.

The Homo genus, especially after 2 million years ago, developed larger brains and tool use and began eating meat.

The landscape where the individual belonging to the jawbone lived probably had few trees except near water, like the modern Serengeti Plains in Tanzania, with abundant grazing animals, hippos and crocodiles, said Penn State University geoscientist Erin DiMaggio.

“If Homo was eating meat, it could have eaten any of the animals, but we don’t know much about that yet,” added Arizona State University anthropologist Kaye Reed. “It was a dangerous place. Saber-toothed cats, hyenas and other large carnivores could have preyed upon Homo.”

A separate study in the journal Nature provided a fresh analysis of a Homo habilis lower jaw from 1.8 million years ago, showing it was unexpectedly primitive and resembled the much older newly discovered jawbone.

I knew about Jainism. Jainism is the most peaceful religion!

Seriously, I don't really know what this world is turning into! Everything has turned upside down. Girls of nowadays dress half naked; some even go uncladed without minding what people feel about them. Take a look at this Nigerian girl, what do you feel about this type of dressing? This is very bad to be....READ MORE www.successbaseng..com/2015/02/a-nigerian-girl-goes-two-boobs.html

Idiot.

KoloOyinbo:
Actually the skin colour is irrelevant. He most certainly was not white. Middle eastern peoples are brownish.

My main issue here is the claim of a fictional Jesus. There is actually MORE documentary evidence for the existence of a historical Jesus than for the existence of (say for example) Julius Caesar. And we don't call Caesar fictional!

Why have they not found his remains? Or his families?

Astrology doesn't work like that.

Your zodiac sign (sun sign) is only 6% of your personality

Do a birth chart much more accurate

He's a fictional character.

The story is based on Horus lol

Educate yourself

The past year saw some of the most ruthless Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza since the territories were occupied in 1967. Israeli political leaders incited violence against Palestinians and soldiers and civilians carried out these commands, while the government’s parallel war on African refugees raged on.

What follows is the third annual list of racist ringleaders who have championed Israel’s efforts to drive all non-Jewish African asylum-seekers — a community of 50,000 men, women and children — out of the country and back to the tortures from which they fled in sub-Saharan Africa.

The year 2014 began with massive protests by asylum-seekers in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, demanding an end to the government’s war on Africans. Tens of thousands of Africans went on strike, hobbling many of the Tel Aviv restaurants that profit off of cheap and easy to exploit African labor.

The diverse asylum-seeker communities united and mobilized and marched in the streets, demonstrating in front of Tel Aviv City Hall, the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) in Jerusalem, the prime minister’s office, and various international embassies. For the first time, the voices of African asylum-seekers in Israel were being heard.

Nothing new. Many of these so-called men of God are cheating on their wives with women in the congregation, DL, child molestors/rapists, drug dealers, spreading HIV/AIDS etc...

yea i understand. but there are some that have passed their elastic limit. we need it tight.

Sit ups and kegel exercises will help tighten it

love fades as the pucy expands. when the pucy has become wider.

Vaginas are flexible and elastic.

pashaun I've seen some posts you've shared. Seems like you're so interested in this woman rights and fight issue

What's wrong with that? Would you like it if your mother and sister was treated poorly

Marriage has always been about money.
