Scratching The Surface
Indeed, as far as human history study could go, Homo antecessor was only scratching the surface. Cappellini also intended to compare proteins from the two-million-year-old Homo erectus to the Australopithecus (Australopiths), a hominid species that roamed Africa between four and 1.9 million years ago. Lucy was one among them, as we previously stated.

Linking Modern Humans To Animals
The University of Copenhagen had the money to pursue its protein-centric study, according to Science Daily. Perhaps its researchers will discover many more links between modern humans and the animals that brought us here. For one thing, Cappellini was ecstatic. “I’m genuinely excited to see what palaeoproteomics may disclose in the future,” he said.
