An ancient skull found in Africa3 The fossilized skulls were found in excavations in Ethiopia and are 160 thousand years old; They are slightly larger and longer than those of the present modern man; Due to the discovery, it was decided to define a new subspecies for the human race
A historic archaeological discovery was recently found during excavations in Ethiopia. Three fossilized skulls found underground are probably the most significant find for the study of the origin of humans. According to the scientists who examined the skulls, these are two skulls of an adult man and one skull of a child that are 160 thousand years old. According to the researchers, these are probably the oldest skulls of the modern man - Homo sapiens - found so far.
Advertisement Skulls were found in the village of Harto in the remote eastern region of the country. The researchers who examined samples from the found skulls were happy to discover that their hypotheses were confirmed and indeed this is the estimated period when the human race began to develop on the African continent. According to one of the researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, "These samples are critical for us. They bridge the gap between more archaic life forms and modern humans as we knew them a hundred thousand years ago."
The skulls found do not fully correspond to the skulls of humans living today. The skulls found are slightly larger, longer and have more prominent crests. These small but significant differences led the American/Ethiopian team of researchers to define a new subspecies of man: Homo sapiens idelto. (The meaning of the name Idelto - adult in the local language of the region).
