Fossilised remains are distinct from other ancient hominin remains found in the area, raising the possibility that Pink could be an entirely new human species.

Scientists believe that Pink 's species could have been among the very first humans to arrive in Europe before being wiped out by a sudden shift in the climate.

Pink's face resembles Homo erectus, a far more ancient human species which emerged in Africa two million years ago .

Only fragments of bone and two worn teeth to go on, the researchers cannot yet be certain Pink is an entirely new species.

Instead, they opted to designate Pink as 'Homo affinis erectus', using the Latin term 'affinis' to mean that it has an affinity with the known species.
