New Homo Erectus Fossils Reveal Ancient Migration Across Drowned Sundaland
Two Homo erectus skull fragments recovered from the seafloor near Java have rewritten the species' migration story. Once thought isolated to Java, H. erectus likely roamed the now-submerged plains of Sundaland 140,000 years ago. These ancient humans hunted turtles and large mammals and may have adopted modern hunting techniques, possibly through cu...

This Ancient Femur Might Muddle Up Human Evolutionary History
A troublesome thigh bone might trip up the timeline of human evolution. According to research published recently in PLOS ONE, a femur found in Southwest China could mean that a species of early human -- one from a lineage other than the one that resulted in humans alive today -- survived as recently as 14,000 years ago.
