Homo Bodoensis: The New Species of Human Ancestor

Scientists named a new species of human ancestor, Homo bodoensis, on Thursday. Dr Mirjana Roksandic, of the University of Winnipeg in Canada, led a team of researchers in reanalyzing fossils from Africa and Eurasia to precisely define the new species of ancestor.

The team found that the species lived in the Middle Pleistocene, an era that took place 774,000-129,000 years ago. The Homo bodoensis is thought to be the most direct ancestor of humans, living in Africa and being succeeded by the Homo sapiens in the same continent and the Neanderthals in Europe.
