A new analysis of ancient fossils from
China has sparked a keen debate over the
very roots of humanity, CNN has reported.
Fossils found in the 1970s, including skulls,
teeth and jaw fragments, have long puzzled
scientists. Now, researchers suggest they
could belong to an entirely new species of
early humans.
The newly proposed species is known as "Homo

Making sense of eastern Asian Late Quaternary
hominin variability
A greater degree of Late Quaternary hominin
morphological variability is present in
eastern Asia than previously assumed. Indeed,
a number of distinct populations are present,
some that now have new specific names: Homo
floresiensis; H. luzonensis; H. longi;
H. juluensis. With this piece, we describe the
various groupings based on the current hominin
fossil record of eastern Asia.
