Another reestimation by Willem Jan Zachariasse and Lucas Lourens interpret the purported footprints to have originated 3 million years ago and doubt if they were footprints or the hominins had made the footprints because of the shallow marine setting and the separation of Crete from mainland Greece and Turkey in the Late Pliocene by the South ...
Stone tools found at the Shangchen site in China and dated to 2.12 million years ago are considered the earliest known evidence of hominins outside Africa, surpassing Dmanisi hominins found in Georgia by 300,000 years, although whether these hominins were an early species in the genus Homo or another hominin species is unknown.

A 2017 study of the ancient DNA of Tianyuan Man found that the individual is related to modern Asian and Native American populations. [113] A 2013 study found Neanderthal introgression of 18 genes within the chromosome 3p21.31 region (HYAL region) of East Asians. The introgressive haplotypes were positively selected in only East Asian ...
Early hominins in Europe No human fossils have been found at the open-air site — the exposed conditions make it harder for fossils to be preserved. The soil is also acidic, which can accelerate ...

The hominoids are descendants of a common ancestor.. Homo sapiens is a distinct species of the hominid family of primates, which also includes all the great apes. [1] Over their evolutionary history, humans gradually developed traits such as bipedalism, dexterity, and complex language, [2] as well as interbreeding with other hominins (a tribe of the African hominid subfamily), [3] indicating ...
The Happisburgh finds mark the first time evidence of early humans from 1,000,000 years ago has been found so far north. Palaeontologists had believed that hominins of the period required a much warmer climate, but the inhabitants of prehistoric Happisburgh had adapted to the cold, suggesting that they had developed advanced methods of hunting ...
The fossil remains of an early hominid child have been discovered in a cave in South Africa by a team of international and South African researchers. The team announced the discovery of a partial ...
