This is the first human discovered in ethiopia.
Notice the hair type and eye colour that the first humans start out as? Who comes to mind with that type of look in this modern era. Mixrace people of course.
Here is 300 million years old Lucy and her child that was found in ethiopia.
Notice the mixrace hair and skin below?
In 2000, a team of scientists, led by Ethiopian paleoanthropologist Zeresenay Alemseged, discovered the skull and bones of a toddler ape-girl from 3.3 million years ago. The fossil was named Selam, meaning “peace” in Ethiopian.
Selam belongs to the same species as Lucy, Australopithecus afarensis, and was unearthed just a few miles from the location where the famous female adult was discovered in 1974.
Since it is the second complete skeleton from that species, Selam is quite often called Lucy’s baby even though she lived some 120,000 years before Lucy.
The fossilized remains were found in Dikika, Ethiopia, in the north of the Great Rift Valley of Africa, a region famously known as the Cradle of Civilization since it was once the home of some of our distant relatives and also some now-extinct species of animals such as types of elephants and hippos.

During the exploration, a fossilized piece of a cheekbone was spotted in a chunk of sandstone, and Alemseged immediately felt that there was more to it. Soon, the team of scientists found an intact skull and a nearly full set of teeth. It took a couple of years to recover all the fossil remnants that were embedded in the hard sandstone.“This is something you find once in a lifetime” were the words of Alemseged.
The first set of english people were mixedrace with curly dark wavy hair dark tan skin and blue eyes.
Researchers made the findings by analysing the DNA of a Briton who died 10,000 years ago, known as 'Cheddar Man'.
Professor Chris Stringer, Research Leader in Human Origins at the Natural History Museum who 30 years ago first excavated the cave where Cheddar Man was found, called the recreation "remarkable".
