Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, November 1st (Intern reporter Zhang Jiaxin) An international research team led by Dr.
Although modern humans, Homo sapiens, are the only surviving human ancestry, other races have also appeared on earth
In order to solve all the confusion, the researchers selected a skull from Bododar, Ethiopia to describe the new species, namely Homo Bodoensis (Bodo people).
Like Neanderthals and some ancient Asian humans from the mid-Pleistocene, Bodo people seem to have larger brains-this is the key evolution to modern humans
Researchers say that having different types of eyebrow shapes does not represent any obvious advantage, but the brow ridges do differ between different types of ancient humans
The researchers suggested that the Bodos were probably the first group to separate from their common ancestors, and the remaining branches later split into Neanderthals and a group called Denisovans found in Asia.
In the next step, the researchers will study whether the fossils from Europe and Asia belong to the Bodo people, which helps to understand whether and when the group left Africa
