Ancient tooth tells of migration

Access through your institution Buy or subscribe African ancestors of modern apes first migrated to Eurasia 3 million years earlier than previously thought. According to fossil records,

African 'hominoids' colonized Eurasia around 14 million years ago, giving rise to the evolution of 'hominids' such as orangutans and humans. But a fossilized hominoid

tooth found in southern Germany in 1973 suggests that Eurasia's permanent colonization was pre-dated by a less successful wave of hominoid migration. This is a preview of subscription
