Photo: Kenyan Fossils May Add New Branch to Human Family TreeWhen viewed from above, the fossil—the smallest H. erectus skull ever found—is dwarfed by a similar skull discovered in Tanzania's Olduvai Gorge (inset). The size difference suggests that H. erectus was more primitive than previously believed, with a social structure more similar to gorillas than modern humans. Photograph by F.
