Johannesburg, 20/08/2015 (The People’s Daily Online) – A team at the Institute of Evolutionary Studies at the University of Wits in South Africa has discovered a fossil sample monkeys represent the oldest baboons found. Over 2 million years ago (between 2.026 million and 2.36 million years), the partial skull was found in Malapa in the Cradle of Humankind, which is a World Heritage Site, the same place where you found the partial skeletons of the new species of early hominids, “Australopithecus sediba” in 2010, according to ABC.
“The baboons are known to have coexisted with the hominids in several fossil sites in East Africa and Africa South and sometimes even used as comparative models in human evolution, “said lead study author Dr. Christopher Gilbert, Hunter College, City University of New York, in the United States.
