Oldest Known Drawing by Human Hands Discovered in South African Cave 2018-09-12T04:00:00Z The controversy at the moment is about whether Homo sapiens were the only people who ever spoke or whether Neanderthals did, too. A sound expert explains the past and future of the human voice 2018-08-30T04:00:00Z “This observation supports the hypothesis that these signs were symbolic in nature and represented an inherent aspect of the advanced cognitive abilities these early African Homo sapiens, the ancestors of all of us today.” Stone in South African cave boasts oldest-known human drawing 2018-09-12T04:00:00Z The intermingling was pervasive enough that some scientists question whether our extinct cousins should be considered a subpopulation of Homo sapiens, rather than a distinct species, as they are typically defined today.

The Secret To Better Social Media? Fewer Friends 2018-04-10T04:00:00Z Until recently, many scholars of human evolution, largely guided by genetic evidence, believed that anatomically modern Homo sapiens migrated into Europe and Asia around 60,000 years ago. A Fossilized Finger Bone Offers New Clues to Human History 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z “We were arguing that Homo sapiens made it to Southern Asia before that date. That was based on stone tools, but I couldn’t support that with fossils,” he adds. 88,000-Year-Old Finger Bone Pushes Back Human Migration Dates 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z A recently discovered finger bone believed to be Homo sapiens was dated using radio isotope techniques.

A Fossilized Finger Bone Offers New Clues to Human History 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z The ingrained notion – that there has only ever been one species of human being, Homo sapiens – is a latterday fiction born of our own self-important view of ourselves. David Reich: ‘Neanderthals were perhaps capable of many modern human behaviours’ 2018-04-07T04:00:00Z Previously, it was theorised that Homo sapiens did not live continuously outside Africa until 60,000 years ago.

Faced With Drought, the Pharaohs Tried (and Failed) to Adapt 2018-03-30T04:00:00Z Together, the studies paint a picture of the pressures that pushed humanity's ancestors to communicate, trade and, above all, adapt — behaviors that are now “part of Homo sapiens and who we are,” Potts said. Scientists find evidence of paint, complex tools and climate chaos at the dawn of humanity 2018-03-15T04:00:00Z So yes, Homo sapiens and Neanderthals had a common ancestor, about 500,000 years ago, before the former evolved as a separate species – in Africa – and the latter as a different species in Europe. David Reich: ‘Neanderthals were perhaps capable of many modern human behaviours’ 2018-04-07T04:00:00Z Researchers are now trying to reconcile this DNA data with the mounting archaeological evidence that Homo sapiens was present outside Africa much earlier. Finger bone points to early human exodus 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z Those findings were reported on Thursday by scientists who examined artifacts dating from 320,000 years ago unearthed in southern Kenya, roughly the same age as the earliest-known Homo sapiens fossils discovered elsewhere in Africa. Earliest Homo sapiens exhibited unexpected sophistication 2018-03-15T04:00:00Z While the behaviours exhibited at the Kenya site are characteristic of Homo sapiens, there are as yet no fossils associated with this time period and location. Early humans 'influenced by climate' 2018-03-15T04:00:00Z Scientists can’t be sure whether the objects were made by our species, Homo sapiens, or some close relative that’s now extinct. Stone tools from Kenya give early glimpse of human behavior 2018-03-15T04:00:00Z But the initial separation of the two lines of ancient humans who gave rise to Neanderthals and to Homo sapiens – and then their subsequent intermingling – shows that remixing does occur. David Reich: ‘Neanderthals were perhaps capable of many modern human behaviours’ 2018-04-07T04:00:00Z But he says that the findings from Olorgesailie provide solid evidence for a shift towards sophisticated behaviour that predates the earliest evidence for Homo sapiens.

World's Oldest Cave Art Found—And Neanderthals Made It 2018-02-22T05:00:00Z Neanderthals painted caves in what is now Spain before their cousins, Homo sapiens, even arrived in Europe, according to research published today in Science1. Neanderthal artists made oldest-known cave paintings 2018-02-21T05:00:00Z That means the paintings were created 20,000 years before modern humans, or Homo sapiens, arrived in Spain, according to a study published today in the journal Science. Ancient cave paintings turn out to be by Neanderthals, not modern humans 2018-02-22T05:00:00Z It is unknown when language emerged among hominids; some argue that it is a feature only of our own species, Homo sapiens, which suggests a timing of no earlier than 200,000 years ago. Homo erectus may have been a sailor – and able to speak 2018-02-19T05:00:00Z It is also more than 25,000 years before the first paintings made by Homo sapiens in Europe were created at Chauvet in France. So Neanderthals made abstract art? This astounding discovery humbles every human 2018-02-23T05:00:00Z Based on the evidence at the time, it seemed that early European art didn't flourish until a major wave of modern Homo sapiens arrived on the continent about 40,000 to 50,000 years ago. World's Oldest Cave Art Found—And Neanderthals Made It 2018-02-22T05:00:00Z Fructose is also, however, often added by manufacturers of food and drink, to sweeten their products and make them appeal to one species of vertebrate in particular, namely Homo sapiens. How too much fructose may cause liver damage 2018-02-08T05:00:00Z Some argue that primitive versions of language pre-date Homo sapiens, based on early evidence of collective hunting and other sophisticated behaviours.

Stone Tools from India Fan Debate over Origins of Cultural Complexity 2018-01-31T05:00:00Z Stringer, one of the researchers who established the now extremely well-proven theory that Homo sapiens evolved in Africa, was not involved in the new dating work but accepts the findings are “a huge breakthrough”. So Neanderthals made abstract art? This astounding discovery humbles every human 2018-02-23T05:00:00Z Genetic evidence shows that more than 90 percent of humans today descend from a small population of Homo sapiens that left Africa between 60,000 and 125,000 years ago. These Tools Upend Our View of Stone-Age Humans in Asia 2018-01-31T05:00:00Z Homo sapiens arose in Africa at least 300,000 years ago and left to colonize the globe. Stone tools in India suggest earlier human exit from Africa 2018-01-31T05:00:00Z It is true, however, that the Neanderthals went into a steep decline around 40,000 years ago, at a time when Homo sapiens from Africa were settling in Eurasia. Tracing the tangled tracks of humankind's evolutionary journey 2018-02-12T05:00:00Z Bailey herself was part of a team of researchers who last year reported the discovery of Homo sapiens fossils in Morocco that were at least 300,000 years old. Scientists discover the oldest human fossils outside Africa 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z For me, that leaves a massive lifeline for the image of Homo sapiens as a uniquely brilliant creature. So Neanderthals made abstract art? This astounding discovery humbles every human 2018-02-23T05:00:00Z The literature has placed modern Homo sapiens in Israel around 200,000 years ago for a long time now. In Cave in Israel, Scientists Find Jawbone Fossil From Oldest Modern Human Out of Africa 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z That starting point is a lot earlier than scientists generally think Homo sapiens left Africa. Stone tools in India suggest earlier human exit from Africa 2018-01-31T05:00:00Z Of all the human species that have ever lived, only one, Homo sapiens, conquered the entire planet. Fossil from Israeli Cave Is Oldest Homo sapiens Found Outside of Africa 2018-01-26T05:00:00Z That means Homo sapiens might have already started migrating out of Africa more than 194,000 years ago, according to the article published today in the journal Science. Jaw fossil discovered in Israel looks human, but it’s much older than it should be 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z It seems very possible that Neanderthals actually taught Homo sapiens to paint in caves. So Neanderthals made abstract art? This astounding discovery humbles every human 2018-02-23T05:00:00Z If confirmed, the find may rewrite the early migration story of our species, pushing back by about 50,000 years the time that Homo sapiens first ventured out of Africa. In Cave in Israel, Scientists Find Jawbone Fossil From Oldest Modern Human Out of Africa 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z So it’s impossible to say whether the tools were made by Homo sapiens or some evolutionary cousin, say researchers who reported the finding Wednesday in the journal Nature . Stone tools in India suggest earlier human exit from Africa 2018-01-31T05:00:00Z “It’s exciting to find Homo sapiens outside of Africa this early,” says paleoanthropologist Shara Bailey of New York University, an expert on early human teeth, who was not involved in the new Misliya cave study. Fossil from Israeli Cave Is Oldest Homo sapiens Found Outside of Africa 2018-01-26T05:00:00Z He cautions, however, against getting too attached to the label Homo sapiens: with only a small chunk of bone to go on, it’s hard to say for certain. Jaw fossil discovered in Israel looks human, but it’s much older than it should be 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z Could it just be that our relativism about what art is blinds us to the really amazing thing – the skill and perception of the paintings made by Homo sapiens? So Neanderthals made abstract art? This astounding discovery humbles every human 2018-02-23T05:00:00Z It is possible that the jawbone belonged to a previously unknown population of Homo sapiens that departed Africa and then died off. In Cave in Israel, Scientists Find Jawbone Fossil From Oldest Modern Human Out of Africa 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z Until recently, the fossil record suggested that our species, Homo sapiens, first appeared in East Africa around 200,000 years ago. Oldest Human Fossil Outside Africa Discovered 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z Approximate date of Homo sapiens fossils found in Misliya cave, Israel. Oldest known human fossil outside Africa discovered in Israel 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z The oldest human fossils ever found outside Africa suggest that Homo sapiens might have spread to the Arabian Peninsula around 180,000 years ago — much earlier than previously thought. Israeli fossils are the oldest modern humans ever found outside of Africa 2018-01-24T05:00:00Z Until recently, early evidence for excursions outside Africa by Homo sapiens was limited to the Levant. Modern humans left Africa much earlier 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z I find it profound that Homo sapiens occupied that cave continuously for 90,000 years. In Cave in Israel, Scientists Find Jawbone Fossil From Oldest Modern Human Out of Africa 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z The new Middle Eastern discovery, detailed today in Science, complements the Moroccan find by showing that Homo sapiens were also taking initial steps into Eurasia much earlier—around 180,000 years ago. Oldest Human Fossil Outside Africa Discovered 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z The teeth are larger than average for a modern human, but their shape and the fossil’s facial anatomy are distinctly Homo sapiens, an analysis of the fossil in the journal Science concludes. Oldest known human fossil outside Africa discovered in Israel 2018-01-25T05:00:00Z The upper jaw and teeth, found in an Israeli cave, are thought to be the earliest evidence of Homo sapiens outside Africa.Credit: Israeli fossils are the oldest modern humans ever found outside of Africa 2018-01-24T05:00:00Z Scientists said on Wednesday they examined brain size and shape based on 20 Homo sapiens fossils, with the oldest dating back to roughly 300,000 years ago.
