    Default Archaeologists Have Discovered The 560,000-Year-Old Milk Tooth Of A Child In France

    Volunteer archaeologists hailing from both France and Spain have just made the remarkable discovery of a 560,000-year-old milk tooth. The tooth is thought to have once belonged to a child that was part of the human sub-species known as homo heidelbergensis.

    As Phys.org reports, these sub-species of humans were in many ways similar to homo erectus, from which modern humans have descended.

    The milk tooth was recovered by volunteers on Monday night inside Arago Cave, which can be found along the Pyrenees Mountains in France, very close to the border of Spain.

    Paleoanthropologist Tony Chevalier has confirmed that researchers believe the child who would have left the 560,000-year-old milk tooth behind was most likely five to six-years-old at the time it was lost.

    I find homo heidelbergensis species very curious. Their brain capacity is as large as modern humans and their height was tall as compared to other species so reported as large as 7 ft but most around 5'9'' which is still tall and much taller than Neanderthal. They were skillful in tool making and surviving the rigors of the ice age.
