Early humans
came from Adam and Eve. They were the early members of the human race and no
interbreeding of humans and Homo erectus took place. They were all members of
the human race.
“A small
collection of 21 teeth may have big implications for the evolution of humans in
Asia. The dentition, which comes from a mystery human ancestor that lived at
least 300,000 years ago in China, shows
an unusual combination of features that may suggest early humans interbred
with Homo erectus, a new study reveals.
"It's
a mosaic of … traits never seen before — almost as if the evolutionary clock
were ticking at different speeds in different parts of the body," study
co-author María
Martinón-Torres, a
paleoanthropologist at the Spanish National Research Center for Human Evolution
(CENIEH), said in a statement.
In a study
published in the September issue of the Journal of
Human Evolution,
researchers studied a handful of teeth from the Hualongdong archaeological site
in South China and found that they had a mixture of ancient and modern traits.”
