Bizarre prehistoric skull could be ‘missing link’ in human evolution

A bizarre prehistoric skull discovered in Israel — with a flat head, no chin and huge teeth — could be the “missing link” in human evolution, a new study revealed.

The hominin, or early human, was named Nesher Ramla, after the site where its skull, jaw and teeth were dug up from 26 feet below ground at a cement mining plant, SWNS reported. “Around 140,000 years ago, a very unique group of people lived in Israel,” study co-author Professor Israel Hershkovitz, of Tel Aviv University, told the news service. “They are believed to be the ‘missing’ population that mated with Homo sapiens who arrived in the region around 200,000 years ago.”
