A 1-million-year-old Chinese skull suggests multiple human lineages evolved earlier and in Asia, challenging African origin theories.
A 1-million-year-old skull found in central China, known as Yunxian 2, is prompting a reevaluation of human evolution.
Digitally reconstructed using CT scans, the fossil exhibits a mix of primitive and advanced traits, including a large braincase and flat face, suggesting it belongs to the Homo longi lineage—a group closely related to Denisovans.
Researchers believe this discovery may push back the timeline for human lineage splits by up to 400,000 years, challenging the long-held African origin theory and indicating multiple human lineages evolved earlier and more widely across Asia.
The findings, though still under review, suggest a more complex and geographically diverse evolutionary history than current models propose.
