flag Scientists discover fossils in Spain that may represent a new human species, Homo affinis erectus.

flag Scientists have uncovered fossilized facial bones in Spain, nicknamed "Pink," which may represent a previously unknown human species. flag The fossils, dating back 1.1 to 1.4 million years, were found in the Sima del Elefante cave near Burgos. flag The bones, 80% of an adult's middle face, show a more primitive structure than Homo antecessor, which lived about 850,000 years ago. flag Researchers have tentatively named the fossil Homo affinis erectus and believe it opens new avenues in studying human evolution in Europe.
