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...

Primitive Humans in Scandinavia Used Boats Made Up of Animal Skins in 3500 BC, Study Suggests
A new study suggests that people from the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) in ancient Scandinavia likely built boats from animal skins, possibly seal hides, to fish, hunt, and trade.

Volcanoes, Famine, Endless Winter: The Year That Nearly Ended Civilisation
The situation worsened by eruptions in the years 540 AD and 547 AD, and it took a long time for the Northern Hemisphere to recover.

These Ancient Chinese Teeth Could Rewrite Human History
A set of 47 human teeth found in China is giving scientists a lot to chew on. The teeth have been dated as at least 80,000 years old -- perhaps even older. The problem with that is that most researchers believe humans only left Africa for the first time around 60,000 years ago. And even then, they were thought to trek to Europe first, not Asia.
