The chimpanzee–human divergence likely took place during around 10 to 7 million years ago. [1] The list of fossils begins with Graecopithecus, dated some 7.2 million years ago, which may or may not still be ancestral to both the human and the chimpanzee lineage.
Fossils may be found either associated with a geological formation or at a single geographic site. Geological formations consist of rock that was deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend for large areas, and sometimes there are different important sites in which the same formation is exposed.
The seven footprints, found amidst a clutter of hundreds of prehistoric animal prints, are estimated to be 115,000 years old. Many fossil and artifact windfalls have come from situations like this ...
The cave in question is 186 miles inland in northern Laos, opening up to many questions regarding timing and methods of human dispersal. The human fossils found in the layers of sediment were ...
Human fossils were discovered first by Aurora Martín Nájera; the 30 cm (12 in) layer they were found in is nicknamed the "Aurora Stratum" after her. [4] A 13 m 2 (140 sq ft) triangular section was excavated in the central section starting in the early 2000s. [3] Human fossils were also found in the northern section.
The explosive discovery of a tiny, enigmatic hominin in an Indonesian cave in 2003 captivated the world. Now, 20 years later, scientists are still struggling to understand the hobbit’s place in ...

The Omo I fossils indicate more modern traits, while studies of the postcranial remains of Omo II indicate an overall modern human morphology with some primitive features. The fossils were found in a layer of tuff, between a lower, older geologic layer named Member I and a higher, newer layer dubbed Member III. [3]
