Curtis, Swisher and Lewin’s Java Man of 2000: Hominin-Themed Books, Part 1 — Tetrapod Zoology If you were following the hominin-themed discoveries of that long-ago era known as the 1990s, you may well remember the hot news, published in Science in 1994 and 1996, on Homo erectus …

"Million-year-old" fossil skulls from China are far older—and not Denisovans The revised age may help make sense of 2-million-year-old stone tools elsewhere in China.

Fossils point to common ancestor of modern humans, Neanderthals Bones from a Moroccan quarry belonged to a hominin that lived when the human lineage was splitting

Out of Africa

Fossils dating back to ≈773k years ago, discovered in Casablanca, may belong to the most recent common ancestor of Neanderthals, Denisovans, and H. sapiens.

Were Humans in the Philippines 709,000 Years Ago? No. Modern humans (Homo sapiens) were not in the Philippines 709,000 years ago. Evidence from the Kalinga site on Luzon shows that hominins, likely a premodern human species, butchered a rhinoceros there about 709,000 years ago using simple stone tools, but the species is unknown and was almost certainly not Homo sapiens (Ingicco et al., Nature 2018). Homo sapiens did not evolve until roughly 300,000 years ago…

709,000 years ago on Luzon, but not modern humans: artifacts point to earlier hominins. How do scientists piece together island migrations from bone and stone? #Archaeology #Hominins #Kalinga #Luzon #Philippines
