Iknikon: Scientists discovered our monkey ancestors' face

The analysis of the sample challenges ideas about how people evolved from pre-reservatives who looked like monkeys.

The recent view that a monkey named Lucy [Luis] was among the species that gave rise to the early people must be reconsidered.

The discovery was reported in the journal Nature, writes BBC, translates Periscopi.

And the skull was found by Professor Yohannes Haile-salsie in a place called Miro Dora, a district in Ethiopia.

The scientist said he had immediately realized the importance of fossil found. I thought to myself, oh god am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? And all of a sudden I was dancing to realize that this was what I had dreamed of,” he said.

Haile Selahessie said this species was the best example so far of a pre-human who looked like a monkey named Australopithecus anamensis.

It was thought that A.anamenis was pre-redirected directly of the last, a more advanced species called Australopithecus acansis, which was considered a pre-requisite direct predecessor of the earliest people called Homo, and that includes all the people alive today.

The discovery of the first acansis skeleton in 1974 caused sensations back then. She got the nickname Lucy, by scientists, according to The Beatles “song. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”. /Periscope
