Human Ancestor May Put Twist in Origin Story, New Studies Say
Published September 8, 2011
In the last month archeologists have found two million year old fossils of bones. Archeologists do not know what animal the bones belong to but they do know that the unidentified thing has both characteristics of modern day humans and primates aka monkeys. They think this unknown species could be in one of the stages through which modern day humans evolved. There are some things they know for sure of the findings, they know that what the human ancestors were a boy about 15 years old and a 30 year old woman. They also know that the unknown species died because they fell down a deep crevice which is basically a crack in the land. They know the woman lived longer then the boy. Archeologists found that the woman’s hands were similar to humans except that the thumb was longer. Also, from the feet they could tell that could walk standing up but didn’t do it all the time. in conclusion I hope they found out more about this unknown specs and how they lived in the past.
