Homo ergaster skull. This skull consists of two fossils: SK-847 (main) and SK-15 (lower jaw). The fossils are those of an extinct species that forms an early part of the human evolutionary tree. However,the identification is not certain. Some have classified SK-847 as Homo ergaster. Others have identified it as Homo habilis,or even Paranthropus robustus. Because SK-847 was assembled from three fragments,the dating is uncertain. The fragments were discovered in the 1940s,1950s and 1960s in Swartkrans,South Africa,and date to around 1.5 million years ago. SK-15 (Homo erectus) was found at the same site | |
