Study of 1m-year-old skull points to earlier origins of modern humans
Guardian4 days
This million-year-old skull discovery potentially represents a revolutionary breakthrough that fundamentally transforms our understanding of human evolution. The evidence suggests that humans existed 400.,000 years earlier than previously believed and coexisted with Neanderthals for 800,000 years — a discovery that not only enriches the global paleoanthropological record but also invites exciting new research.

While this skull reconstruction offers intriguing possibilities, the conclusions remain highly speculative and contradict established genetic evidence about human origins. The findings challenge decades of DNA research without providing molecular confirmation, and experts warn about the uncertainty of these temporal estimates. Additional evidence is needed.
