- Fossilised teeth found in Ethiopia’s Afar Region reveal that two human ancestor species coexisted about 2.6 million years ago.
- The discovery includes 10 teeth from a previously unknown Australopithecus species and 3 teeth from early Homo genus members.
- This challenges the old view that the Australopithecus species disappeared before Homo appeared.
- The findings suggest at least five hominin species lived together in eastern Africa during this time.
