Scientists discover remains of ancient isolated population in South Africa dated 200,000 years
Scientists have uncovered remains of people in South Africa who were genetically isolated from the rest of humanity for 200,000 years, the press office of Sweden’s Uppsala University reported. This finding is crucial for understanding the early history of the human species.
Researchers identified a previously unknown population of ancient humans living in the area of modern South Africa, genetically distinct from other groups. Studying their genomes is expected to shed light on the origin and evolution of our species.
This research opens new avenues in paleoanthropology and may reshape current views on human evolution, paving the way for further investigations and discoveries.
