Fossils from Northern Kenya show that a new species of human lived two million years ago, researchers say.
The discoveries suggests that at least three distinct species of humans co-existed in Africa.
The research adds to a growing body of evidence that runs counter to the popular perception that there was a linear evolution from monkey to ape to modern human.
Most people assume that human evolution is a strict progression from monkey to human, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint human evolution is more like a big ball of apey-wapey… humany-whumany… stuff.
