Tel Aviv: Scientists say on Thursday they have found a new human kind of early after studying pieces of fossil bone dug on a site used by a cement plant in Central Israel.
The fragment of the skull and the jaw with teeth aged around 130,000 years and can force the minds of the part of the human family tree, researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem said.
Nesher Ramla Homo, named after the Southeast TEL Aviv place where it was found, it might have lived with our species, Homo sapiens, for more than 100,000 years, and maybe even interrelated, according to the findings.
The early humans, who have very large teeth and have no chin, maybe also Neanderthal ancestors, this research added, challenging today thinking that our evolution cousins came in Europe.
“The discovery of a new type of homo is very important scientifically,” said Israel Hershkovitz from Tel Aviv University, one of the team leaders who analyzed the remnants.
“This allows us to understand human fossils previously found, add other parts to human evolution puzzles, and understand human migration in the old world.” Dr.
Yossi Zaidner from the University of Hebrew found fossil-fossils while exploring the mining area at the Nesher cement plant near the city of Ramla, a university said in their statement.
Excavator tools and bones find bones about eight meters (25 feet) among stone tools and horse bones and deer.
This study said Nesher Ramla resembled a pre-neanderthal group in Europe.

“This is what makes us suggest that this Ramla Neshher group is actually a large group that starts very early in time and is a source of European Neanderthal,” said Hila, a physical anthropologist in the center of David and the Shmunis Institute TEL Aviv experts can never fully explain how Gen Homo Sapiens present in the previous Neanderthal population in Europe, can say, and Neshher Ramla might be a responsible mystery group.
The jawbone does not have a chin and the skull is flat, he said.
The 3D form analysis was then ruled out related to other known groups.
What they did, could say, there was a small number of human fossils full of puzzles in Israel, which came from before, that the anthropologists could never put.
“As an intersection between Africa, Europe and Asia, Israeli land serves as a melting pan where a different human population mixes with each other, to spread throughout the old world,” said Dr.
Rachel Sarig, from Tel Aviv University.
