ETHIOPIA-SCIENCE-US-PALAEONTOLOGY

Professor Kaye Reed, Arizona State University paleontologist who co-discoverered the earliest known fossil of the genus Homoe presents the piece of jawbone uncovered in Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on March 5, 2015. A piece of jawbone with teeth attached, uncovered in Ethiopia, is the earliest known fossil of the genus Homo, to which humans belong, researchers said. The discovery suggests that humankind's ancestors were living in what is now the Ledi-Geraru research area of Afar Regional State, Ethiopia, in open grassland environments, near lakes, rivers, and active volcanoes, about 2.8 million years ago, or 400,000 years earlier than previously thought.
