50,000-Year-Old Fossils in the Philippines Hint at a New Species of Early Human

[FONT=&quot]According to a [/FONT]study[FONT=&quot] published today in the journal [/FONT]Nature, a vast, chambered cave in the Philippines holds the remains of a previously unknown, small-bodied population of early humans who lived some 67,000 years ago. If confirmed to be a distinct species, the newly-dubbed Homo luzonensis could add yet another branch to our ever-growing family tree.

Regardless of species designation, though, the presence of any ancient human remains on this remote island locale reaffirms the role Southeast Asia played in shaping our evolution—and suggests our ancestors weren’t quite as landlocked as once thought.
