Spanish researchers discovered a facial fragment in Atapuerca, northern Spain, identified as the oldest known face in Western Europe, dating between 1.1 and 1.4 million years. The fossil, nicknamed 'Pink', may belong to a new hominid species related to 'Homo erectus'. This finding is crucial for understanding early human migrations in Europe, predating 'Homo antecessor'. The Atapuerca site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has yielded significant discoveries about human evolution, including tools used by early populations for hunting and processing meat.
