"These dental discoveries suggest 'there were likely more than one species that occurred in the Dmanisi region,' study co-author Mark Hubbe, head and professor of anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, told Live Science.
The scientists noted the dissimilarities between these two groups of teeth was akin to the levels of differences seen between the sexes in chimps and gorillas. That raises the possibility that these represent the teeth from both sexes in one species. However, the researchers argued the Dmanisi fossils did not come from just one human species, since the more australopith-like group had relatively large third molars, in contrast to the trend in humans of smaller third molars when compared to their relatives."

Archaeologists have discovered five skulls of early human ancestors in Dmanisi, Georgia, that challenge the conventional view of human evolution. The skulls belong to Homo erectus, which lived about 1.8 million years ago. The skulls show a remarkable diversity of features, suggesting that Homo erectus was more variable than previously thought and that other human species may have been just regional variants of the same species.
