Scientists said on Thursday (June 24) they had discovered a new kind of early human after studying pieces of fossilised bone dug up at a site used by a cement plant in central Israel.
The fragments of a skull and a lower jaw with teeth were about 130,000 years old and could force a rethinkof parts of the human family tree, the researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem said.
Nesher Ramla Homo - named after the place southeast of Tel Aviv where it was found - may have lived alongside our species, Homo sapiens, for more than 100,000 years, and may have even interbred, according to the findings.

Still, there is a pronounced brow ridge, a low cranial vault, and evidence of a sagittal crest. I’d go with a Pithecanthropine.

Hominidae, the great apes: orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humansThen the article should have made clear that hominid bones were discovered.

I’d go with a Pithecanthropine.Correct me if I'm wrong but I am assuming from the images that the skull fragment and partial jaw fragment are all they have. The skulls on the table are for dramatic display.
No way to tell from a single fragment of skull and jawbone if it was human or ape.

When the Great Apes were separated, how many generations did it take for them to evolve into separate species such as orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans that were incapable of interbreeding with each other and producing offspring that could also reproduce themselves? The timescale on the left is in millions of years. "Pan" is chimps and bonobos. "Pongo" is the orangutans.

Right branch includes Gigantopithecus, who is probably Bigfoot.
