Many people believe that the origin of human ancestors is from Africa, however the latest research by a group of international scientists discovered that the common ancestor of humans and apes is from Asia.

This discovery has dealt a "fatal" blow to the traditional ancient biological theory that human ancestors came from Africa.

After analyzing primate fossils discovered in Myanmar dating back about 37 million years, a team of international scientists has proven the hypothesis put forward about 13 years ago that human ancestors originated in Asia.

In 1997, a group of French archaeologists discovered the fossil of the Bahinia pondaungensis gibbon in Myanmar. Based on this discovery, scientists hypothesized that the origin of human ancestors came from Asia. The Bahinia pondaungensis gibbon fossil is of the same age as the Eosimias centennicus gibbon, but later than the Eosimias sinensis gibbon.

After conducting research, scientists determined that the Bahinia pondaungensis ape fossil belongs to the ape-human species, on that basis proving that there was a group of apes in history originating from Asia.

In addition, the group of scientists also pointed out that before discovering more ancient biological evidence, it is indisputable and undeniable that the origin of advanced primates comes from Asia, not Africa.
