| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The remains of one of the most ancient archaic people in Europe were found by Spanish archaeologists during excavations in the Sierra de Atapuerca mountain range, Gran Dolina. This was reported on July 26 in a press release from the Catalan University of Human Paleoecology and Social Revolution. The remains were discovered 30 years after excavations began at a small testing site. The first remains of this human species, thousands of fossils and animal fossils had been found there. The research team managed to penetrate deeper into the surface of one of the blocks and there found the remains of a human ancestor who lived 850 thousand years ago. It is specified that fragments of skull bones, ribs, vertebrae, as well as a tooth of particular interest to anthropologists were found. It is assumed that it belonged to a 25-year-old woman whose remains archaeologists found in this region. In the caves of Gran Dolina in the 1990s, archaeologists found the remains of six people, as well as animal bones and stone tools dating back 780,000 years. The people found were classified as the fossil species Homo antecessor, or the ancestral man. In Europe, this species is the oldest representative of the genus "man".
On June 2, an international team of scientists discovered a previously unknown new species of dinosaur in Zimbabwe. Archaeologists found their remains on the shores of Lake Kariba and named the lizards Musankwa sanyatiensis. Paleontologists at the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences reported on May 23 the discovery of a new species of carnivorous dinosaur in Patagonia. The lizards lived during the Cretaceous period about 69 million years ago, and scientists have named them Koleken inakayali. | |

We are all are of African lineage. Just that 82.1% of the world decided to leave the African jungles behind and move to Concrete Jungles. |
