Ape-like pelvis suggests human ancestors might not have been built like modern African apes.

New pelvis discovered shows that human bi-pedalism has deeper ancestral origins than previously thought. Europeans are the only population to evolve from it.


Europeans evolved from Ouranopithecus macedoniensis (10 million years ago) and Graecopithecus freybelgi (8 million years ago). Those hominids evolved into the anatomically sapien Cro-Magnons with some infusions from Homo neanderthalensis, and then into the Proto-Indo-Europeans.

Asians descend from Denisovans and Homo florensiensis.

Africans descend from Australopithecus afarensis and some other unknown hominid (i.e. Homo erectus).

The out of Africa theory, in that 'humanity' originated from sub-Saharan Africa, only applies to non-Europeans since their ancestors left sub-Saharan Africa via the coast. The partial ancestors of European humanity left north Africa, not sub-Saharan Africa, while the other part of their ancestry were concurrently living throughout southern Europe and the entire Mediterranean.

All non-Europeans stem from proto-Negroids, some of whom partly evolved and environmentally adapted into Mongoloids within East Asia, whereas Semitics are an Afro-Asiatic bridge population between Europeans and non-Europeans with superficial Caucasoid traits. Europeans stem from proto-Caucasoids (Eurasians) who originated from the Mediterranean.
