Nutcracker man locates a Handy man.
With the world wide success of nutcracker man funds began flowing freely and Africa was now the place to be when hunting for fossils of human origins. Asia was now no longer considered central to the emergence of human ancestors
Louis Leakey was catapulted out of the doldrums of ignominy to celebrity status and Olduvai now boasted a permanent camps site and ongoing excavations and plenty of funds. More time and eyes would be covering more territory there.
In 1960 two such eyes belonged to 19 year old Jonathan Leakey, who off exploring on his own he discovered a saber tooth cat mandible in the nearby vicinity of the nutcracker man excavation site. Hoping to find more of the cat, because who wouldn't want more of a saber tooth, he sieved the area only to find hominid teeth and bones.
Excavations began in earnest and very quickly it became apparent this was no nutcracker man. Despite being so close by and even similar in geological age this was very definitely something very different. The skull housed a comparatively larger brain and lacked the ridge of bone at the top or sagittal crest. (the center skull is Handy man and the outer two are nutcracker types with their large faces built for chewing)

As much a Louis Leakey tried to avoid controversy this time around, he didn't even give it a name at first, this species would stir up controversy of various types of which some even continue till today.
Hello @gavvet, great archaeological history fact! Greeting from Mexico!
this is archaeological
karma?
It is interesting as today we continue to find evidence such as those that show that humans come from the evolution and not the religion and these issues continue to collide
Interesante el artículo.
El Hombre de Cascanueces data de hace dos millones de años y se alimentaba de Chufas osea tubérculos.
El amigo Louis Leakey buscaba Diente de Sable y se encontro con el Cascanueces.
Muy buen el artículo.
I love reading things like this, so interesting! Thanks for sharing and keep it up :)
Great and informative opinion and facts from you dear. This article of yours is cool and exciting and contains some key content. Thanks for the report snd such historic information @gavvet. The skulls are of humans.? Look weird🙊🙊🙊🙊 .
We all are living in an world of evolution and time to time we got evoluted from one stage to another, but in history there were many cases of skulls which were nowhere near to human beings skulls and that's why many Conspiracy Theorists believe that some skulls which were found in history and which were really huge which we can't see in the case of human being possibly those type of skull can belongs to superior beings or trendy word as Alien Species. Our earth always stayed as an big mystery and researchers find so many surprising secrets which can really shake us because sometimes it reflects as we don't know a percent of this earth.
And in my opinion over the period of time possibly we can get the more scientific proof if more species lived on the earth or not but whatever it is we will going to get more secrets of earth in future.
Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
