ISLAMABAD: A key clue in unlocking the mysteries of the evolutionary path of modern man — the Sivapithecus Indicus fossil skull, which was discovered in Pakistan’s Potohar plateau and went missing in 1996, had been shipped to the United States under a secret deal.
The revelation was made by the Director-General (DG) of the Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) Imran A Khan before a parliamentary panel on Tuesday.
“My predecessor had lent the skull for research and the same was shipped to the US under a deal,” Khan told the Senate Standing Committee on Petroleum and Natural Resources chaired by Senator Muhammad Yousaf.
