1.77-million-year-old Homo erectus skulls in China show early humans reached Asia sooner than believed
Three skulls unearthed at the Yunxian site in Hubei Province have long sat at the center of debate. For years, researchers placed their age at about 1 million to 1.1 million years. A new study...More information: https://archaeologymag.com/2026/02/1-77-million-year-old-homo-erectus-skulls-in-china/

Così come le popolazioni europee hanno ereditato parte del DNA dai #Neanderthal, quelle oceaniche e del Sud-est asiatico hanno ricevuto mutazioni dei #Denisova.
Ora sappiamo che almeno una di queste mutazioni risale a #HomoErectus: lo hanno scoperto scienziati cinesi che hanno estratto e analizzato proteine da denti di H. erectus vissuti 400mila anni fa. 🦷

Using a minimally invasive technique, Chinese scientists have extracted proteins from 400,000-year-old #HomoErectus teeth. 🦷
The analysis identified two mutations in an enamel protein: one entirely novel, and another previously known only from Denisovans. The findings suggest a deep genetic link connecting present-day populations in Southeast Asia and Oceania to ancient Homo erectus through the #Denisova lineage.

Deux crânes du Yunxian, dans le nord de la Chine, ne sont pas des ancêtres des Denisovans après tout ; ce sont en fait les plus anciens fossiles d'Homo erectus connus en Asie de l'Est.

New cosmogenic dating puts the Yunxian Homo erectus skulls at 1.77 million years old, making them the oldest securely contextualized hominin fossils in eastern Asia. The dispersal picture just got more complicated. #Paleoanthropology #HomoErectus #HumanEvolution https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-yunxian-skulls-are-177-million

"As well as this, shamanism may likely have been a major part of any religion practiced in this period. Shamanism in this sense is used in a broad way to refer to spiritual experiences. These spiritual experiences often involve altering the state of consciousness where practitioners render themselves in ecstatic or extreme psychological states that allows them to communicate with the spirits.
The study of prehistoric shamanism is controversial, however. Many modern scholars disagree about the validity of this theory due to the lack of evidence available, but the strong correlation between drug use and religion throughout history does suggest that Homo erectus liked to get high."

Human ancestor thrived longer in harsher conditions than previous estimates#HomoErectus, the first of our relatives to have human-like proportions and the first known early human to migrate out of Africa,
successfully navigated harsher and more arid terrains for longer in Eastern Africa than previously thought, according to a new studyhttps://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1070382 #science #anthropology #HumanEvolution
