 Scientists unveiled on July 10, 2002 the skull of what they called the earliest member of the human family so far discovered, dating back six or seven million years to a period in evolution about which virtually nothing is known. The skull, featured in the journal Nature, was discovered last year by an international team of palaeoanthropologists working in Chad, Central Africa . Nature's palaenontology editor said the skull "is arguably the most important fossil discovery in living memory, rivaling the discovery of the first 'ape-man' 77 years ago".
