The study of a femur spent 25 years in a Chinese museum without being studied has uncovered a similar human species Homo habilis extinct 1.5 million years ago.
The bony rest has “only” 14,000 years. That is, the owner came to live with contemporary men
.
Consequently, the femur is the modern vestige in a different Homo sapiens 100,000 years ago qie born human species.
The femur is very small, which is the common feature of early human species such as Homo habilis. According to the researchers, the owner of bone was short and weighed about 50 kilos. It was much smaller than Homo sapiens around him.
The femur was found among other debris in Red Deer Cave, which is located in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. However, at the time of its discovery he did not call much attention, overshadowed by other findings.
Now, a team of Australian and Chinese scientists led by Darren Curnoe and Ji Xueping intended to demonstrate the existence of a new species a study on the femur, while agreeing that more bone findings are necessary, Eureka Alert reports.
In 2012 a team led by scientists themselves issued the reconstruction of a skull found in nearby Longlin, stating This was between 11,500 and 14,300 years old.
According to them, the skull was of a very small height be not like a contemporary human, so it could be some unknown species. It was soon nicknamed ‘dwarf’ and ‘hobbit’ and several scientists challenged the finding
