AncientPages.com | January 3, 2019
Conny Waters - AncientPages.com - Little Foot was present on Earth about 3.67 million years ago. After examining the skeleton and brain of Little Foot, scientists say that they have come across an entirely new species of human ancestor.
Ancient Pages previously reported, in December 2018 researchers in South Africa presented "the most complete skeleton of a human ancestor older than 1.5 million years ever found."
We have now obtained more information about this intriguing discovery.
The world learned about Little Foot back in the 1990s when Ronald Clarke of the University of Witwatersrand together with other researchers found ancient bones in the Sterkfontein caves near Johannesburg, South Africa.
