重大新闻，欧洲970万年前就有接近400万年前非洲古人的牙齿出现，几乎是人科的出现时间，早于黑猩猩和人类的分化时间，，接近大猩猩和人类的分化时间，那么当然得是更早的“猩猩”（古猿）进化出的这种原始猿人，对俺的一个假设——“就是亚洲古猿（亚当）、非洲古猿（夏娃）可能就是在地中海区域邂逅，然后全新的人科就诞生了”，是很有意义的！哦，欧洲本来也有古猿呀！这个问题就很有意思了，人类或许就是五洲古猿结合而形成的，最早是北美洲的古猴，然后迁徙到亚洲，然后到非洲、欧洲，然后欧、非古猿分别演化，其中有一支变成了黑猩猩，大猩猩的祖先，有一支进化成了人类祖先，其中人类祖先可能是欧洲（亚洲）古猿、非洲古猿互相结合然后进化而成的，然后人类最关键的进化步骤经历了澳洲大陆的参与（或许是躲避拓跋火山的原始人类暂避澳洲，这是除了少数非洲人群之外的现代人类最主要祖先），五洲合一，是为伍豪，灵长类豪杰就如石猴出世了！
Do these 9.7 million-year-old teeth suggest EUROPE is the cradle of humanity? Controversial discovery could 'rewrite the history of mankind'
- Teeth closely resemble those belonging to two ancient human fossils in Africa
- However, the German teeth are twice as old as both of the African skeletons
- If the finding is confirmed, the teeth will be the oldest hominin fossils ever found
- Could change our understanding of human evolution and 'out of Africa' theory
- The teeth are currently being examined in detail by a team of scientists and the first paper to report on the finding will be published next week

The discovery of a set of 9.7-million-year-old teeth has led archaeologists to raise questions about the commonly believed 'out-of-Africa' theory of human origins.
The teeth, which were discovered in a former bed of the Rhine river, don't resemble those of any other human species found in Europe or Asia.
The find suggests that contrary to popular belief, Europe may be the cradle of humanity.
The researchers claim they were so baffled by the findings, that it has taken them a year to announce the discovery.

The discovery of a set of 9.7-million-year-old teeth has led archaeologists to raise questions about the commonly believed 'out-of-Africa' theory of human origins
KEY FINDINGS The set of teeth were discovered near the town of Eppelsheim.
The teeth resemble those belonging to Lucy – a 3.2 million-year-old skeleton of a human ancestor found in Ethiopia.
But they don't look like those of any other species found in Europe or Asia.
This raises questions about whether humans originated in Africa, as is commonly believed.

In September 2016, researchers from the Mainz Natural History Museum in Germany discovered the set of teeth near the town of Eppelsheim.
In their study, published on ResearchGate, the researchers, led by Dr Herbert Lutz, wrote: 'Both teeth, the crowns of an upper left canine and an upper right first molar, are exceptionally well preserved and obviously come from the same body of unknown sex.'
The molar was found to share characteristics with other species, including Lucy – a 3.2 million-year-old skeleton of a human ancestor found in Ethiopia.

The teeth, which were discovered in a former bed of the Rhine river near Eppelsheim, don't resemble those of any other human species found in Europe or Asia
But the canine revealed potentially hominin qualities, which have never been seen in teeth discovered in Europe or Asia.
This raises questions about whether humans originated in Africa, as is commonly believed.
Speaking to The Merkurist, Dr Lutz said: 'They are clearly ape teeth.

An analysis of one of the teeth revealed honey-comb-like arranged enamel, which led the researchers to believe it belonged to a hominin species
The canine revealed potentially hominin qualities, which have never been seen in teeth discovered in Europe or Asia
'Their characteristics resemble African finds that are four to five million years younger than the fossils excavated in Eppelsheim.
'This is a tremendous stroke of luck, but also a great mystery.'
The researchers were initially so baffled by the findings, that they took a year to publish them.
Two of the teeth were found embedded in rock, in what was the former bed of the Rhine river in Germany

At a press conference announcing the discovery, the mayor of Mainz said: 'I don't want to over-dramatise it, but I would hypothesise that we shall have to start rewriting the history of mankind after today.'
While the findings have now been published, Dr Lutz said the 'real work' had only just begun.
Until now, it was widely believed that modern humans first appeared in east Africa between 400,000 and 200,000 years ago, before our species dispersed around the world around 70,000 years ago
WHO WAS LUCY? [size=1.2em]Lucy's remains were uncovered in the Afar region of Ethiopia in the 1970s.
[size=1.2em]Paleontologists believe she is the best preserved example of Australopithecus afarensis, an ancient branch of the human family tree.
[size=1.2em]The mineralised skeleton is believed to be 3.18 million years old and is the most complete of any upright, walking human ancestor.

[size=1.2em]Previous studies suggested that Lucy was just 4 ft tall (122 cm) and weighted just 65 lbs (29 kg).
[size=1.2em]Since her discovery, researchers have debated whether she spent her life in the trees or spent time walking on the plains as well.
[size=1.2em]Combining the new data paints a picture of an ancestor which may have spent a considerable amount of her time in trees.

Lucy's skeleton, discovered in 1974 in the Afar region of Ethiopia, has been the subject of vigorous debate concerning the role of arborealism in early human evolution

There is lots of evidence of great apes roaming Europe millions of years ago, but there is yet to be any confirmed evidence of hominins on the continent at this time.
Until now, it was widely believed that modern humans first appeared in east Africa between 400,000 and 200,000 years ago, before our species dispersed around the world around 70,000 years ago.
The human lineage was believed to have split from the chimpanzee lineage in Africa around six to eight million years ago, although fossils from around this time are scarce.
The teeth will now go on display at a state exhibition, before returning to Mainz's Natural History Museum.
COMPLEX EVOLUTION OF MAN[size=1.2em]55 million years ago - First primitive primates evolve
[size=1.2em]15 million years ago - Hominidae (great apes) evolve from the ancestors of the gibbon
[size=1.2em]8 million years ago - First gorillas evolve. Later, chimp and human lineages diverge
[size=1.2em]5.5 million years ago - Ardipithecus, early 'proto-human' shares traits with chimps and gorillas
[size=1.2em]4 million years ago - Ape like early humans, the Australopithecines appeared. They had brains no larger than a chimpanzee's but other more human like features
[size=1.2em]3.9-2.9 million years ago - Australoipithecus afarensis lived in Africa.
