Immigrating to Israel DNA

According to foreign media reports on June 25th, a breakthrough study in Israel discovered a brand-new prehistoric human type, which can be traced back to 654.38+0.3 million years ago. Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Hebrew University announced the discovery in the famous academic journal Science on June 24th.

It is speculated that these mysterious prehistoric humans are the ancestors of Neanderthals and may have intermarried with Homo sapiens. According to textual research, at present, this prehistoric human is named Nesher Lamla, which is their excavation site, named after a place in the southeast of Tel Aviv. Tens of thousands of years ago, this area was like a savanna in Africa, full of wild animals, and it was an ideal residence for ancient hunter-gatherers.

The researchers found that in addition to human bones, including prehistoric human skulls, there are many animal bones and stone tools used for making fires and slaughtering. The results show that these early humans had big teeth and no chin, and they were likely to cross with modern Homo sapiens. Ruben Israel Hershkowitz of Tel Aviv University, one of the team leaders who analyzed the remains, said: "It is of great scientific significance to discover a new human genus. It gives us a new understanding of the previously discovered human fossils, adds a new research foundation to the mystery of human evolution, and understands the migration process of human beings in the old world. "

Nesher Lamla may be the key to answer some important questions of anthropologists about early human migration. Experts have never fully explained the genetic origin of Neanderthals in Europe. Sheila May, an anthropologist at the Dan David Center and the Muniz Institute of Tel Aviv University, said that Neshel Lamla might help us solve this mystery.

"In the past, people thought that Neanderthals came to Israel from Europe about 70,000 to 50,000 years ago, but through this discovery, we further studied the population who lived here about 1.3 million years ago. Unfortunately, because the DNA in climate fossils is destroyed and cannot be extracted, the conclusion of the study is based on the excavated human skeleton shape. "
