The skull has unique anatomical features. Scientists will not associate it with Homo Erectus, or Neanderthals, or Homo sapiens.
In China, a skull has been investigated for about 300 thousand years, which can change our understanding of human evolution. According to scientists, he does not belong to any of the well -known species of hominids, IFL Science reports.
We talk about the skull of Maba 1, found in 1958 by farmers in Guangdun province. They failed on the lips of the cave when they collected the guano bats. Initially, scientists believe that the skull found belonged to Neanderthal, and gave him the nickname “Chinese Neanderthal.”
However, a new study, the results of which have been published in the Journal American Journal of Biological Anthropology, shows: Maba 1 does not match any of the existing classification. With the help of CT scanning, scientists study the internal structure of the skull -especially the frontal lobe, the cranial cavity and spongy bone tissue.
It has become the skull has features of many archaic species at the same time, but it is not uncommon for any of them. It is most similar to homo erectus, but its frontal share is very short, and the brain cavity is less than denisovites or neanderthals.
“Maba 1 is considered a “Chinese Neanderthal” due to the similarity of face features. However, in this study, we do not see internal signs that are naturally exclusive to non -warrings“-Those who have a study.
Scientists have added that such an “anatomical mosaic” is characteristic of the average pleistocene – the period when many human lines on different continents exist at the same time. Similar “Not sure“ The debris has previously been found not only in Asia, but also in Africa – especially in Tanzania, Morocco and Zambia.
So, now the most accurate meaning for Maba 1 is “Ne-Homo erectus“And scientists believe that this search re -proves the complexity and branching of the evolution of mankind.
