how could you possibly know that???Yep. They were very mobile and capable and somewhat organized. The populations would not have stayed as isolated from one another as, say, mountain and lowland gorillas have for so long.What’s also remarkable is that difference species of human ancestors existed at the same time; human evolution is likely non-linear.Early hominin skull fills in “a major gap” in the fossil record – Ars Technica
This extremely rare find bridges the gap between Austalopiths and the other, older fossils found in Africa. The article details some of the physical traits, like an upright faith and jaw shape.
Finds like this are more than they may first appear. They confirm both earlier and later fossils as part of a steady, evolutionary walk from the ancestor of all great apes to modern humans.
