New Fossils
A new discovery of a fossil cranium and two jawbones—both 2 million years old—lead researchers to confirm that Homo rudolfensis is a distinct species. The first Homo rudolfensis skull was found in northern Kenya in 1972. The newly discovered fossil face is flat, as in the original skull. The partial jawbones look similar to the skull found in 1972 but enlarge the known variation in the skull and teeth of Homo rudolfensis. Along with fossils of Homo habilis and Homo erectus, these new specimens support the existence of multiple species of Homo in eastern Africa between about 2.0 and 1.7 million years ago.
One of the reasons why I chose this article is because a long time ago when I was a child my father and I used to go out in the woods, islands, and old Indian sites to look for fossils and arrow heads.
It was very exciting to find these arrow heads or fossils that have not been un covered in hundreds if not thousands of years. To see artifacts like this in your own eyes and to hold them in the palm of your hands is just amazing.
This relates to biodiversity and evolution very well, these fossils show how that Homo rudolfensis are a distinct species, we would never know exactly what we discovering without these fossils. With these fossils we can clearly see the difference in the humans before us and how exactly we all have become who we are through
