Bones of a "new type of early human" have been uncovered in Israel.

The discovery, which has been dated to around 130,000 years ago, has surprised researchers.

They were unaware that there was a type of human in the area at that time other than Homo sapiens.

When researcher Dr Hila May looked at the bones, she noticed that the skull had no chin; something that all Homo sapiens have.

Scientists believe the bones belonged to a type of human that was related to Neanderthals, another type of early human.

The find challenges the theory that Neanderthals originated in Europe.

The Israeli scientists now believe that Neanderthals may have migrated there from the Middle East.

Not everyone is convinced by the Israeli researchers' new theory.

While scientists agree that there was another type of early human on the Earth at that time, many are calling for further research to be done.
