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.

Two Different Proto-Human Species Lived Together in Keyna 1.5 Million Years Ago, Claims Study
In a groundbreaking discovery, footprints from 1.5 million years ago have revealed that Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei coexisted in Kenya. The fossilised tracks, found at Koobi Fora, show distinctive foot structures, with Homo erectus leaving footprints similar to modern humans, while Paranthropus boisei’s tracks reflect a different walking...

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.

Betrayals Forced Early Humans to Spread Across the World: Study
Betrayals of trust resulting from moral disputes forced early humans to cross major geographical barriers, including deltas such as the Indus and the Ganges, and spread across the world about 100,000 years ago, a new study has found.
