By Rebecca Morelle Science Correspondent, BBC News
A new species of ancient human has been
unearthed in the Afar region of Ethiopia, scientists report. Researchers
discovered jaw bones and teeth, which date to between 3.3m and 3.5m years old. It
means this new hominin was alive at the same time as several other early human
species, suggesting our family tree is more complicated than was thought. The
study is published
in the journal Nature. The new species has been called Australopithecus
deyiremeda, which means "close relative" in the language spoken
by the Afar people.

Maybe

knows Bigfoot Fans ,a relative may yet turn up.
