Relic of the First American Family Found
A Nebraska fossil tooth, over 500000 years old, may belong to an unknown race midway between apes and humans. Named Hesperopithecus harold cookii in honor of Harold J. Cook, the specimen challenges theories of America as a late stage in human evolution and prompts renewed paleontological expeditions. The find by Harold Cook suggests American evolution may have occurred on the continent, reshaping views of man's origin and its coexisting with prehistoric megafauna.
