Estimated age: 100,000 to 90,000 years. Location: Qafzeh Cave, Israel. This specimen is one of about 21 individuals found in Qafzeh Cave.

Sahelanthropus tchadensis is a fossil hominid. From evidence at the fossil site in Chad in the African Sahel, it is thought to have lived about 7 million years ago. The split of the line into humans and chimpanzees probably happened between 6.3 and 5.4 million years ago. This can be seen from genetic data. Because the fossil is older than this spilt, its status is unclear. The first fossil found is known as ToumaÃ¯ today.
