Peace Steemians,
The research on the origin of Human species is providing further results on the chronology of past events impacting our evolution.
Discovery
Chinese find suggests human relatives left Africa earlier.
An excavation in China provides evidence that our evolutionary cousins left Africa earlier than we thought.
Stone tools suggest some unidentified relative of humans lived in China as long as 2.1 million years ago. That’s about 250,000 years earlier than the previous record for a presence of human relatives outside Africa.
Georgian town of Dmanisi
Until now, the oldest evidence of human-like creatures outside Africa came from 1.8 million-year-old artifacts and skulls found in the Georgian town of Dmanisi.
The new findings were published July 11 in the journal Nature.
The discovery, however, does not answer the longstanding question of when our own species—Homo sapiens—first emerged from Africa.
