Researchers found the fossil of the Stone Age in two caves in China. The new fossil species of human thought. The new human species called Red Deer man cave is likely to survive until the beginning of agriculture.These findings consisted of a skull and some bone fragments 14 300 and 11,500 years old. These bones probably came from four individuals. Experts stunned by the shape of the bones is due to have a mix of primitive human anatomy and modern.
Red Deer man they called after there were indications of human passion and cook it preys on deer. This fossil was found in the cave Longlin, Guangxi province, as quoted by the Guardian.
Human Red Deer has a number of differences with modern humans. They have a more prominent jaw, large molars, prominent eyebrows, thick skull, flat face and wide nose. Their brains the size of a man from the Ice Age.
"They could be a new line of human evolution. Or modern human populations that were previously unknown, arrived from Africa and failed to survive in East Asia," said Darren Curnoe, who led a team of researchers from the University of New South Wales, Australia.
He added a new human skull is very unique. Humans are also very different from all modern humans, both living today or in Africa 150 thousand years ago.
In addition,Curnoe add, man lived in until almost 11 thousand years ago. In that year, modern humans were already present. "Perhaps the human species is isolated from modern humans. We suspect they do not interbreed, or if so, in limited numbers."
The discovery of the human species, reflect the complexity of human evolution. Curnoe assess the evolution of the most interesting man in Asia, just as the end of the Ice Age.The bones of the Stone Age it is very important because scientists have few human fossils from Asia. But how do the lines and the placement of these men are still vague. Recent findings indicate a much more complex picture of human evolution than previously thought.
Humans have several populations that live in that area that might represent different evolutionary paths: those Red Deer in continental East Asia; Homo floresiensis or 'hobbits' on the island of Flores in Indonesia, and modern humans spread from northeast Asia to Australia . "It paints a picture of amazing diversity."
