Thanks for Sharing! Very intriguing article   

History just got re-written. People I used to know no longer exist. Some Monuments no longer stand. Some nations were never founded, and the Americas have yet to be discovered.

As interesting as this specific fossil is I don't understand why this would change anything big picture wise or honestly why it wouldn't have been expected? It's the norm for new lineages to coexist with their ancestors and with sister taxa.
