Homo antecessor may be a common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. [ 40 ] [ 41 ] At present estimate, humans have approximately 20,000–25,000 genes and share 99% of their DNA with the now extinct Neanderthal [ 42 ] and 95–99% of their DNA with their closest living evolutionary relative, the chimpanzees .
The proportion of extinct large mammal species (more than or equal to 10 kg (22 lb)) in each country during the last 132,000 years, only counting extinctions earlier than 1000 years BP. The Late Pleistocene saw the extinction of many mammals weighing more than 40 kilograms (88 lb), including around 80% of mammals over 1 tonne.
The implications of this array of evidence is important due to the evidence that the “broad spectrum” of plant use is not unique to Homo sapiens. Homo neanderthalensis had, for all intents and purposes, a complex diet similar to many hunter-gather groups of Homo sapiens. The critical factor in this diet was that it varies significantly ...
Previous excavations at the same cave site have revealed dozens of human fossils dating to 300,000 years ago, making them some of the earliest remains of Homo sapiens in East Asia.
Australopithecus sediba is an extinct species of australopithecine recovered from Malapa Cave, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa.It is known from a partial juvenile skeleton, the holotype MH1, and a partial adult female skeleton, the paratype MH2.
Humans are in the midst of a current mass extinction, known as the Holocene extinction period, as it continues to the 21st century. And as it turns out — we are the culprits, as well.
Researchers in Russia on Monday unveiled the remarkably well-preserved remains of a 50,000-year-old female baby mammoth found in thawing permafrost in the Yakutia region of Siberia.. The remains ...
