Researchers Pursue Explanations Following the Reconstruction of a 3.7 Million-Year-Old Face

Comptes Rendus Palevol, researchers have presented the outcomes of the five-year digital reconstruction effort. Their discoveries not only provide a singular insight into the appearance of a pre-human ancestor such as Little Foot, but they may also indicate the existence of a previously unidentified human ancestor. While one specimen does not suffice to establish that Little Foot is the fossil of a “new” species, this study expands our comprehension of our origins while also illuminating how little we understand about our forebears.
