With population movements and environmental changes, many of them This species is lost forever. Science has not been able to study it due to lack of sufficient evidence. However, this skull It sheds new light on primitive human life forms on this planet.

Skull reveal Real brain power, which belongs to the domains of modern humans and Neanderthals. This led scientists to consider that it could be closer to us than any other hominin species. If confirmed, it could be interrupted All information available about Us natural history.
