In 1994, scientists working at the site discovered the remains of a previously unknown hominid called Homo antecessor.
As part of a recent study in Spain, archaeologists found the remains of facial bones that are 1.4 million years old. IFLS writes about it.
The bones belong to the oldest human ancestor. In particular, a fragment of the upper jaw and cheekbones was found at the Sierra de Atapuerca site in northern Spain. This place was once home to ancient human ancestors. In 1994, scientists working at the site discovered the remains of a previously unknown hominid called Homo antecessor (human predecessor), indicating the fact that this species is the earliest known example of a human species that daring to travel to Western Europe.
“To confirm this, a fragment of the jawbone will undergo radiocarbon analysis. According to the scientists, these results should be published early next year within six to eight months,” the scientist.
Recall that during their excavation at the archaeological site of Saqqara, located south of Cairo in Egypt, scientists found a cache with sarcophagi and 150 bronze figurines, as well as the image of the pioneering architect Imhotep.
