HALABELLA | Narmada Man - ONE OF INDIA'S OLDEST HUMAN ANCESTOR @halabella6 | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
So, in our other videos we have spoken of different fossils found from all different places of the globe but we have not discussed a single fossil from India. In this video, we will be talking about a fossil found in India known as Narmada Man later known as the Narmada Human.
On December 5th, 1982, geologist Arun Sonakia discovered one of the earliest known fossil of a human ancestor from South Asia in Hathnora Village, Madhya Pradesh on the banks of the Narmada. It turned out to be the most tantalising fossil discovery of a human ancestor. Narmada Human was the discovery of the century.
The discovery not only put India on the world fossil map, it proved the presence of early humans in the subcontinent and filled a void in our knowledge about human evolution. Sonakia puts the age of the fossil at 500,000 to 600,000 years ago on the basis of associated fauna and say that it belonged to the species Homo erectus.
The discoverer of the fossil says that the individual may have been 25-30 years old. The fossil find included a skull cap with a little of the orbital roof. Antiquity of fossils has always been controversial. Some think the Narmada fossil may belong to the late Homo erectus category. Many believe the fossil could be of a female.
