frazierdanielle+FollowAncient 'Nutcracker Man' Jaw Shakes Up Human HistoryPlot twist in human evolution! Scientists just found a 2.6 million-year-old jaw from the extinct 'Nutcracker Man' (Paranthropus) way up in northern Ethiopia—over 600 miles further north than ever before. This means our chunky-jawed cousins roamed way more territory than anyone thought, possibly even mingling with other early humans. Turns out, the story of where we came from is way messier (and cooler) than a straight line! #History #Archaeology #HumanEvolution20Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowWait, Were There Two Human Species in Eurasia?Turns out, our human family tree just got a lot messier! Scientists found ancient fossils in Georgia that suggest not one, but TWO different human species left Africa nearly 2 million years ago. The teeth don’t lie—some look more like early humans, others more primitive. This totally shakes up what we learned in school about Homo erectus being the OG explorer. Imagine multiple human cousins wandering the world together! Are we ready to rewrite the story of where we came from? #Science #HumanEvolution #FossilFinds21Share
Michelle York+FollowEarly Humans Looked Way More Ape-Like?!Turns out, our earliest human ancestors weren’t as ‘human’ as we thought! Scientists just found the most complete Homo habilis skeleton ever, and it’s blowing minds. This 2-million-year-old hominin had super long arms (think gorilla vibes) and a body more like Lucy than us. Even though they were smart, they probably spent a lot of time in trees. Basically, the first humans looked nothing like us—and the mystery of how we got here just got deeper. #Science #HumanEvolution #ScienceNews00Share
Samantha Johnson+Follow2 Million-Year-Old Human Ancestor UnveiledScientists just dropped the most complete Homo habilis skeleton ever found—over 2 million years old! This ancient human ancestor had super strong, long arms (think Lucy vibes) and stood about 5'3" but weighed just 68 lbs. The find is a total game-changer for understanding how our early relatives moved and lived. Still waiting on more leg bones to see if they were tree swingers or ground walkers. Human evolution just got way more interesting! #History #HumanEvolution #FossilFind10Share
Samantha Johnson+FollowWait, Who Really Left Africa First?Turns out, Homo erectus might not have been the OG human to leave Africa 1.8 million years ago! New fossil teeth from Georgia suggest there could’ve been two different human species chilling outside Africa way earlier than we thought. Some scientists say it’s just one super-diverse species, but others are betting on a wilder, multi-species scenario. Human family tree just got way messier! #History #HumanEvolution #FossilFinds20Share
frazierdanielle+FollowAncient Ape’s Secret Human-Like Move?Scientists just found a tiny bump on a 7-million-year-old ape’s leg bone that screams: this guy walked on two legs! Only humans and our ancestors have this bump, so Sahelanthropus tchadensis might be our oldest known relative. The fossil’s hips and knees are super human-like, but its arms are all about tree climbing. Basically, this ancient ape could be the missing link in our family tree—or just a bipedal weirdo. Either way, evolution just got way juicier! #History #HumanEvolution #FossilFind00Share
Debra Taylor+FollowAncient Human Face Reveal Is WildScientists just reconstructed the face of a 1.5 million-year-old Homo erectus, and it’s throwing a wrench in what we thought we knew about human evolution. The skull, found in Ethiopia, has a mashup of features from both Homo erectus and an even older species, Homo habilis. Basically, our family tree is looking a lot messier—and way more interesting—than we thought! Can you imagine what other surprises are buried out there? #History #HumanEvolution #ScienceNews155Share
Michael Flores+FollowDid We Just Find a New Human Species?The Little Foot fossil from South Africa just threw a major curveball at scientists! After years of thinking it was an Australopithecus, new research says it doesn’t fit any known species. This could mean we’ve uncovered a whole new branch of our family tree. Imagine—two ancient human relatives living side by side! Time to rewrite the story of where we come from… #Science #LittleFoot #HumanEvolution00Share
daniellopez+FollowLucy Might Lose Her Human Ancestor CrownPlot twist in human evolution! For decades, we thought the famous 'Lucy' fossil was our great-great-great (etc.) grandma, but new research is shaking things up. Some scientists now say an even older species, Australopithecus anamensis, could be our real ancestor. Others aren’t convinced and think Lucy’s still in the running. The debate is getting spicy, and honestly, our family tree just got a lot bushier. Who knew our roots were this tangled? #History #HumanEvolution #LucyFossil20Share
jason40+FollowLittle Foot Fossil Might Be a New Human Species!Plot twist in human evolution: scientists now think the famous 'Little Foot' fossil from South Africa isn’t what we thought. It doesn’t fit into any known species like Australopithecus africanus or prometheus. Instead, it could be a whole new branch on our family tree! This could totally shake up what we know about our ancient relatives. Can you imagine if we’ve had a mystery cousin this whole time? #History #LittleFoot #HumanEvolution10Share
