Resumen de Humanity's earliest cousin

Colin Barras

  • Over 55 million years ago, in the lush rainforests of what is now east Asia, a new voice was heard in the animal chorus: the cry of the first primate. A fossil unveiled this week might give an idea of what this crucial ancestor looked like. It's the earliest primate skeleton ever found. It also strongly suggests that humans' lineage evolved in Asia, several million years earlier than they thought, and links the evolution of primates to the most extreme episode of climate change of the last 65 million years
