An ancient skull dating back 300,000 years is unlike any other premodern human fossil ever found, potentially pointing to a new branch in the human family tree, according to new research.

Previous research has revealed that the Apolipoprotein-ε4 (APOE-ε4) allele increases the risk for a variety of diseases in aging populations, specifically Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease.

In East China, specifically at the site called Hualongdong, scientists conducted an excavation and discovered fossils pointing to a possible third human lineage. To understand these fossils better, they performed two types of assessments: a morphological assessment on the shape and structure and a geometric assessment on the measurements and angles.

Researchers say the jawbone doesnt come from any known human lineages and contains multiple evolutionary traits.

Scientists in eastern China's Hualongdong (HLD) region uncovered a 300,000-year-old fossil, possibly belonging to an unknown human species.

The skull, found in China, joins a growing body of fossils that are calling into question our current conception of the human family tree.

Scientists have spent the past four years examining the fossilised remains dug up in Hualongdong, China, and the skull belonging to a child could turn out to be an incredible find
