You know, I don't know. This story, though, is really a year old. There are lots of hits on Google for the name of the institute that is doing the research, from November of last year. Here's a photo of the skull in question:

The teeth in the lower jaw are in remarkably good shape.

No wonder the ancients created the vampire evil. obviously a take off on a rather backward flavor of man bearing some simian-like eye teeth. Ditto the story of Beowulf, an ancient tale of how an advanced flavor of man fought off a very crude and barbaric flavor. These stories aren't accidents. Myths are the foggiest, grainiest look into our ancient past.

Are you certain that's the 14m find being reported here, rather than this find from last year:

Last year, the team found a 13m-year-old partial skeleton, also believed to be a common ancestor of apes and humans - a male fruit-eater, nicknamed Pau.
