科学家在西班牙发现的化石可能代表了一种新的人类物种，即直立人 （Homo affinis erectus）。 Scientists discover fossils in Spain that may represent a new human species, Homo affinis erectus.

科学家们在西班牙发现了绰号为“粉红色”的面部骨骼化石，这可能代表了以前未知的人类物种。 Scientists have uncovered fossilized facial bones in Spain, nicknamed "Pink," which may represent a previously unknown human species. 这些化石可以追溯到 1.1 到 140 万年前，是在布尔戈斯附近的 Sima del Elefante 洞穴中发现的。 The fossils, dating back 1.1 to 1.4 million years, were found in the Sima del Elefante cave near Burgos. 这些骨头占成年人中脸的 80%，显示出比生活在大约 850,000 年前的 Homo antecessor 更原始的结构。 The bones, 80% of an adult's middle face, show a more primitive structure than Homo antecessor, which lived about 850,000 years ago. 研究人员暂时将这块化石命名为 Homo affinis erectus，并相信它为研究欧洲的人类进化开辟了新的途径。 Researchers have tentatively named the fossil Homo affinis erectus and believe it opens new avenues in studying human evolution in Europe.
