The discovery of thirteen teeth dating back 2.6 to 2.8 million years confirms that Homo and an enigmatic Australopithecus coexisted in Ethiopia, revealing a more complex human evolution.
The research team discovered 13 teeth in sediments dating back to 2.6 to 2.8 million years ago. Tooth fossils discovered in Ethiopia introduced a new Australopithecus species to the scientific world.
This was announced in a study published in Nature, in which an international team of researchers describes the discovery in the Afar region of Ethiopia of 13 fossilized teeth between 2.8 and 2.6 million years old, which could belong to a previously unidentified species of Australopithecus that coexisted with early humans.

The human family tree is looking more and more like an unruly bush. Paleontologists have now uncovered the teeth of two different ancient human lineages at the same site in northeastern Ethiopia. The discovery collapses the distance between the first of our genus and the last of the australopithecines in eastern Africa.
