China has recently unearthed a 300,000-year-old hominin jawbone with a shape not quite like modern humans, but unlike other ancient hominins.
The Chinese diggers speculate that this strange individual belongs to an undescribed line of human ancestors and possibly belongs to a new species of human relatives.
More than a few years ago, archeologists in China dug up a similar jawbone from a cave in Anhui province.
They found the remains of Hualongdong 6, or HLD6, and it turns out this prehistoric man had a mosaic of features, which are typical of both H. sapiens and other modern humans , but he didn’t have a true chin.
In fact, he looked more like older archaic hominimin relatives.
