7.2-Million-Year-Old Pre-Human Remains Found in Bulgaria, Greece Show First Pre-Humans Developed in Balkans, Not Africa
May 23, 2017 · by Ivan Dikov · in Paleontology, Prehistory
In-depth research by an international team of scholars of two roughly 7.2-million-old pre-human fossils discovered in Bulgaria and Greece demonstrates that the split of the human lineage occurred in the Balkans, and not in Africa, as conventionally thought.
The research team includes scholars from Germany, Bulgaria, Greece, Canada, France and Australia.
It is headed by Professor Madelaine Boehme from the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of Tuebingen and Professor Nikolai Spassov from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, who is the Director of the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia.
