The Oldest Ancient Human Maxillary Bone Has Been Found
- U-Report
John Hawks, an anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who was not involved in the discovery said this new discovery will help provide insight into the population that originally inhabited this area in the distant past.
"We don't know exactly where this part of the maxilla will fit, and it will take a lot of work and comparison for the team to determine this," John Hawks said.
“But whatever they determine, it's linked to a site with behavioral evidence and every piece we have associated with sites with evidence of behavior, such as stone tool making or hunting, tells us the behavioral capacities of ancestors and relatives." John Hawks added.
Meanwhile, researchers said, this discovery needs further studies before they can determine the exact age of the maxillary bone and whether it is related to other fossils that have been found there.
