Researchers say recently discovered teeth come from a previously undiscovered species of Australopithecus, adding to our understanding of human evolution.

Fossilized teeth show that two different kinds of ancient human ancestors coexisted more than 2 million years ago. One of ...

The researchers carefully compared the newly discovered teeth with known specimens of Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy’s species) and early Homo. They found that these teeth belonged to both early ...

Fossil teeth unearthed in Ethiopia suggest two distinct human ancestor species lived alongside each other between 2.6 and 2.8 million years ago, reshaping what is known about our evolution. The 13 ...

A new study published in 'Nature' has determined that human teeth evolved from the same "genetic toolkit" as an extinct species which lived about 465 million years ago.

The new finds reinforced that human evolution was more of a tangled-up bush. Different species and different branches of the hominin family tree overlapped with one another in time and space.
