Ancient Skeleton Sparks Debate on Human Origins
In Grosseto Italy a headless child-sized pre-man skeleton found 600 feet underground in the Bacinello coal mine is claimed by Swiss scientist Dr. Johannes Hurzeler to push mankind’s beginnings back to at least 11,000,000 years ago. He suggests humans and apes may have descended from a common ancestor rather than from apes alone, a view challenging the prevailing 1,000,000 year timeline. The nearly complete bones are being preserved with plaster and transported to Basel for study after surface extraction.
