How has the discovery of the toumai skull affected what some scientists think about hominids and human delvelopment

Because Toumai's skull looks different from other hominid skulls, some scientists think Toumai represents a whole new species.

Toumai's humanlike face and chimp-sized brain suggest that the development of hominids was not so simple.

Scientists aren't sure where exactly Toumai belongs on our family tree. Toumai could be like a great-great-grandfather - or just a distant cousin. Toumai could also be one of many types of hominids who roamed Earth millions of years ago.
