The idea that two different human species, Homo sapiens (us) and Neanderthals, co-existed in western Eurasia 50-40,000 years ago has long captured the imagination of academics and the public alike. It is therefore not surprising that this time period — the Middle-to-Upper Paleolithic transition — has been a focus of research for many archaeologists, physical ...
Our species, Homo sapiens, migrated out of Africa multiple times. They reached the Levant and Arabia between 130,000 and 70,000 years ago, as exemplified by human fossils and archaeological sites found at various locations. Little is known, however, about the pathways of these migrations. In a study published in Science Advances, we find the now ...
Oregon State University archaeologists have uncovered projectile points in Idaho that are thousands of years older than any previously found in the Americas, helping to fill in the history of how early humans crafted and used stone weapons. The 13 full and fragmentary projectile points, razor-sharp and ranging from about half an inch to 2 ...
Researchers from the University of Florida have pulled almost 100 fossils from a flooded cave in the Bahamas, and the story they tell is one of triumph; that is until humans came into the picture. Out of 39 species examined, 22 of them disappeared after the arrival of humans some 1,000 years ago. The 39 ...
New archaeological evidence shows that humans were living in the Philippines by 709,000 years ago — hundreds of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. Stone artifacts were found by an international team of researchers, including Dr. Gerrit “Gert” van den Bergh, from University of Wollongong’s Centre for Archaeological Science, at an excavation at Kalinga on Luzon, ...
