- Ten fossilized teeth found in Ethiopia belong to a previously unidentified Australopithecus species.
- This species coexisted around 2.65 million years ago with an early Homo species in the same area.
- The findings illustrate the branching nature of human evolution, with multiple hominin species living simultaneously.
- Researchers are analyzing dietary habits and potential competition between the species using dental evidence and stone tools.
This new Australopithecus species is in no way some 'missing link,' and we actually don't think that it was necessarily ancestral to any known species.— Brian Villmoare, lead author of the research published in the journal Nature.
