In the Grote du Rennes cave in France, an international team of anthropologists discovered the pelvis of a baby from an unknown human species. Study published magazine Scientific Reports (part of the Nature magazine group).
The Grotte du Rennes cave is an important historical site: scientists have found numerous stone tools from the period when representatives of Homo sapiens began to slowly push Neanderthals out of Europe about 45,000 years ago. However, the researchers could not reach a consensus on which of these tools made.
Remains of Neanderthals were also found in the cave, among them the bones of a baby Homo sapiens. However, anthropologists have noticed different iliums, comparing the find with the bones of later representatives of the species.
This may indicate that a previously unknown lineage of Homo sapiens had a different morphology on Earth than modern humans. Perhaps it was this species that created the tools found in the cave.
