Could a primordial worm-like creature be the oldest relative of the human species? Biologists, zoologists and other evolutionary experts continue to investigate our ancestral links to other, earlier creatures that existed in the natural world. This led to a rather startling and exciting discovery in Australia recently.

A fossil found in Nilpena, located in the south of Australia, has revealed a wee, 555 million year old, worm-like creature that has distinct traits in common with homo sapiens, and shares a spot near, or at, the top of our oldest family tree.

The team doing the research, led by professor Dr. Mary Droser and recent PhD graduate Dr. Scott Evans, geologists from the University of California Riverside, who say the newly discovered fossil has confirmed what evolutionary biologists have theorized for decades now. Droser explained in an interview with the Daily Mail,

“It’s the oldest fossil (we have) with this type of complexity,” she began. “This is what evolutionary biologists predicted. It’s really exciting that what we have found lines up so neatly with their predictions.”
