When scientists discover a new species of human based on one fossil, how do they know it wasn’t just one genetic freak?
In: Biology
Most likely because they don’t find just the one.
If you find a guy with a spine that’s curved in all directions in the midst of many regularly shaped skeletons, then thar guy is the odd one out.
But, if you find a whole community of human remains that have a common traits, than that’s a different specie.
