celebrated excavations in east Africa Besides having to deal with the harsh climate the researchers had to dig carefully around land mines left from decades of war “It’s a lot of emotion to have in my hand die beginning of the human lineage” Brunet said in a statement "I have been looking for this for so long” Odier scientists who have examined the skull said it is a landmark but enigmatic specimen Tt’s nbt what we thought we would find" said Bernard Wood of George Washing-ton University “If you look at the back ed it it looks like a chimpanzee and if you look at die front of it it looks Ukc something in the human fossil record unambiguously a couple of million years ago” Harvard anthropologist Dan Liebennan said the skull raises “a wheelbarrow full of ques dons" He likened it to Raymond Dart's 1920s in south- discovery of a skull of an “ape-maero Africa which lent the firk support to Charles Darwin’s theory that the deepest traces of human evolution could be found on that continent "It’s a major find” Liebennan said “It will take many years for us to understand just how important it is” Other researchers were more guarded “This is a great extension onto the fossil record” said University of California paleontologist Tim White “But that’s what the real story is here — it’s an opening window” Indeed Tbumai is the oldest addition to a growing array of recently discovered hominid fossils that show human evoluor tion was not an orderly progression Instead Africa appears to have been widely populated with many different transitional species How they get sorted into a new edition of die human family album could take years to settle Tbumai was classified as a member of the newly dubbed species Sahdanthropus tchadensis and is thought to be between 6 mil- tion and 7 million years old That means it could be as much as 1 million years older than previously found hominid fossils!and at least 3 million years older'than the hominid skulls Brunet concluded Tbumai walked upright because die hple for die spinal cord at the skull’s base is shaped like those of more recent bipedal prehumans The skull appears to be the sire of that of a modern 'common chimpanzee with a similar cranial capacity and smallish teeth But facial ' details such as a very thick bony eyebrow ridge are like those of male homimds Tbe specimen’s age falls near a critical point iriiendsB human lineage split from apes Rely ing on genetic evidence scientists have assumed the split occurred 5 million to7 million years ago Tbumai's appearance may push back the timeline an pre-hum- In what
