Step into a time machine—science style! 💫 The Hubei Provincial Museum in central China has just revealed reconstructed statues of two ancient humans whose skulls date back roughly one million years. Talk about #ThrowbackThursday!
Discovered in 1989 and 1990 near Yunxian County, these fossilized skulls were dubbed 'Yunxian Man' by paleoanthropologist Jia Lanpo in 1994. After decades of analysis, researchers confirmed the remains belong to Homo erectus—a key ancestor of modern humans. 🧬 The male and female individuals, aged 25–45, had brain volumes comparable to early humans and walked upright, bridging our evolutionary past.
'This restoration helps us visualize our ancestors’ appearance,' said a museum representative. The project highlights China’s role in unlocking humanity’s origins—no DeLorean required! 🚀
