Quest for Clues to Humanity's First Fires 2017-06-19T04:00:00Z The researchers speculate that these early Californians could have instead been species known only from fossils in Europe, Africa and Asia: Neanderthals, a little-known group called Denisovans, or another human forerunner named Homo erectus. Neanderthals in California? Maybe so, provocative study says 2017-04-26T04:00:00Z Even the archaic humans that might have been present then, like Homo erectus or the mysterious Denisovans, left such flakes.

New Fossils Hint 'Hobbit' Humans Are Older Than Thought One theory is that these people were another normal-sized species we now refer to as Homo erectus, which was known to live on the island of Java, about 500 km west of Flores. Hobbit find shows tiny humans shrank 'rapidly' - BBC News 2016-06-08T04:00:00Z The oldest artefacts in the region, meanwhile, suggest that a group of Homo erectus arrived on Flores about one million years ago, says van den Bergh. ‘Hobbit’ relatives found after ten-year hunt Elsewhere on the island, the search is on for the elusive first arrivals, perhaps full-sized Homo erectus, or maybe a smaller ancestor. Fossil discovery on Flores provides clues to 'hobbit' ancestors 2016-06-08T04:00:00Z Just when Homo erectus did start cooking is controversial. Without fire? 2016-03-09T05:00:00Z Some skeptics may contend that 300,000 years is an unreasonably small window for Homo erectus to reduce itself to hobbit size. New Fossils Hint 'Hobbit' Humans Are Older Than Thought Homo erectus was too primitive to build boats and it was too far for the species to swim from Java to Flores. Hobbit find shows tiny humans shrank 'rapidly' - BBC News 2016-06-08T04:00:00Z Morwood’s team proposed that it was a shrunken Homo erectus, the same species that probably evolved into Homo sapiens in Africa and that roamed as far as Europe and Asia. ‘Hobbit’ relatives found after ten-year hunt The shape of the jawbone resembles a smaller version of that found in Homo erectus, as does a molar tooth. Fossil discovery on Flores provides clues to 'hobbit' ancestors 2016-06-08T04:00:00Z But with the emergence of species like Homo erectus, hominins grew to about our current height, with brains twice as large as those of their forebears.

This Face Changes the Human Story. But How? 2015-09-10T04:00:00Z The Guangdong mandible from China may push back human existence in Asia to over 100,000 years ago, but the question is raised whether the bone is from a human or Homo erectus. Review: 'First Peoples' Series Chronicles Origins And Spread Of Modern Humans 2015-06-24T04:00:00Z Perhaps more promising is the final a candidate for the bone: Homo ergaster , as the earliest examples of Homo erectus are called.
