Encuentran fósiles de más de 7 millones de años en el este de Europa

An international team of researchers discovered fossils in Greece and Bulgaria, believed to be over seven million years old, suggesting a new origin for human ancestors in Eastern Europe rather than Africa. The fossils, including a jaw and teeth, show prehuman characteristics and imply an earlier divergence from great apes. The findings challenge previous beliefs about human evolution and will be presented at a Geology Congress in Athens.

Where were the two ancient fossils discovered?

• Turkey and Cyprus

• Egypt and Libya

• Italy and Spain

• Greece and Bulgaria

What does the discovery suggest about the origin of human ancestors?

• They originated in Africa.

• They originated in Asia.

• They originated in Eastern Europe.

• They originated in South America.

How does this discovery challenge previous beliefs about human ancestry?

• It suggests no divergence from great apes.

• It suggests an earlier divergence from great apes.

• It suggests a different species of prehumans.

• It suggests a later divergence from great apes.

What is notable about the dental traits of the fossils?

• They resemble those of great apes.

• They are identical to modern humans.

• They show traits of both modern humans and prehumans.

• They are completely unique.

Where will the research team present their findings?

• At the Geology Congress in Athens

• At a conference in Paris

• At a seminar in New York

• At a symposium in London
