Spain reports that a Spanish archaeologist recently announced that he has discovered the latest traces of ancient human activities in Tanzania, which may be the largest ancient human site in history. It is understood that the young archaeologist is named Louise Leakey, and he and his colleagues are currently accelerating the development of the ruins. In addition, little Louis also showed reporters a newly unearthed skull of a primitive human. He said: "The shape of this skull is wavy. Judging from the peak of its crest, we can determine that this skull has considerable historical value. It may even be the earliest human skull."

Restoration of the Nutcracker Man


Louis Jr. said: "The specific location where the skull was found is in the Olduva Gorge (garganta de Olduva, in today's Tanzania). This archaeological discovery not only provides a lot of reference materials for future paleontological research, but also proves a lot. The correctness of the theory. For example, before this, most historians and paleontologists agreed that the earliest origin of human beings was in Africa, so this ancient human skull gives strong support to this hypothesis. , now we are basically certain that the earliest humans did move within Africa, and we can even boldly assume that the earliest humans lived in Olduvai Canyon. Of course, the latter still needs further research by archaeologists."


At present, the race of the owner of the skull has not been completely determined, but archaeologists have given an "alias" called "Nutcracker Man". According to archaeologists, because the lower jaw of this skull is very protruding and much harder than the lower jaw of modern humans, it looks like a clamp for pinching walnut shells. Therefore, this unknown human race was discovered by archaeologists. Scientists nicknamed him the "Nutcracker Man".
