HOMOFLORESIENSIS

Nine skeletons from caves on the Indonesian island of Flores that are around 100,000 years old. This distinct lineage could represent the sister branch to all humans alive today

Early humans from 45,000 years ago, known from teeth and a finger bone from a cave in southern Russia near Kazakhstan and Mongolia. DNA tests revealed that this was a separate human lineage that had mingled with the forebearers of Australian Aboriginals and Melanesians

Known from cave fossils in China, these early humans lived around 12,500 years ago and resembled the Homohabilis of 1.5 million years ago; thought to be the descendants of the Denisovans and modern humans
