New Human Species?
Is it just me, or are we discovering a new human species on a near yearly basis. I think it was just a few years ago that homo floresienis was discovered in Indonesia.
FTA:
“Genetic analysis of the finger bone has since indicated that it was a remnant of a previously unknown hominin, distinct from both early modern humans and Neanderthals — the heavily muscledHomo species that cohabited with Homo sapiens in the region from 50,000 to 30,000 years ago. Early modern humans, the results suggested, shared parts of Eurasia not only with Neanderthals but a totally different human-like creature, and all three probably came into contact (the finger bone was found within 65 miles of known Neanderthal and modern human sites).”
