The Tooth Have Enough Information
The tooth, on the other hand, had just enough genetic material to assist scientists in learning more about a certain species. And while researching this one dental record, they concluded that the human family tree needed to be expanded. Indeed, a new piece of this gigantic jigsaw has appeared, from chimps to Lucy, and all the way up to modern-day man and woman.
They Shared A Common Ancestry
As a result, scientists have known for a long time that Neanderthals and their sister species, Denisovans, shared a common ancestry with modern humans. However, the species Homo antecessor was never completely right in its place. In fact, the later species’ fossils were finally discovered in 1994 at an ancient Spanish site.
