  • Summary

  • Scientific evidence indicates that the physical and behavioral characteristics common to all humans can be traced back to ape-like predecessors beginning around 6 million years ago.

    But where did this happen? Where did the human journey begin?

    In a new paper titled 'A new ape from Türkiye and the radiation of late Miocene hominines', Sevim-Erol et al., describe a new species of ape that existed in modern day Türkiye approximately 7 million years ago, and argue the possibility of a European origin for an early pre-human ancestor.

    Today we're going to take a look at some of the context surrounding this new paper including some of the apes of Europe and Africa that predate human ancestors, the description of the new species, and the teams argument why this new species might indicate an out-of-Europe migration.
