Spanish media reports that a Spanish archaeologist recently announced the discovery of new evidence of ancient human activity in Tanzania, potentially the largest Paleolithic site ever discovered. The young archaeologist, Louise Leakey, and her colleagues are currently working to expedite the excavation of the site. Leakey also showed reporters a newly unearthed hominid skull, saying, "The skull has a wavy shape. Judging from the peaks of these peaks, we can determine that this skull is of considerable historical value; it could even be one of the earliest human skulls."
Nutcracker Man Reconstruction
Louis Jr. said, "The skull was discovered in the Olduva Valley (in present-day Tanzania). This major archaeological discovery not only provides a wealth of reference material for future paleontological research, but also proves the correctness of many theories. For example, before this, most historians and paleontologists agreed that the earliest human origins were in Africa. This ancient human skull provides strong support for this hypothesis. Now we can be fairly certain that the earliest humans did indeed live in Africa, and we can even boldly hypothesize that the earliest humans lived in the Olduva Valley. Of course, the latter still needs further verification by archaeologists."
Currently, the exact ethnicity of the skull's owner has not been definitively determined, but archaeologists have given it a nickname: "Nutcracker Man." Archaeologists explain that because the skull's jaw is highly protruding and much harder than that of modern humans, resembling a nutcracker, this unknown human species has been jokingly referred to as "Nutcracker Man."
