Their Traits Were All Similar
It was especially thrilling given how much earlier Homo antecessor appeared than Neanderthals and Denisovans. “The traits shared by Homo antecessor with these hominins certainly appeared considerably earlier than previously imagined,” Bermudez de Castro continued. As a result, Homo antecessor would constitute a founding species of the rising humanity, which would include Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans.”
A Groundbreaking Result
Of course, the groundbreaking findings were only the beginning for the researchers behind this landmark effort. After all, the University of Copenhagen team stated that they intend to further expand their protein-extracting technology in order to re-evaluate other fossils and bones. After all, those relics might have additional knowledge to impart.
