New Hominin Species, *Homo juluensis*, Proposed Based on Chinese Fossils
Scientists propose *Homo juluensis*, a new hominin species, based on Chinese fossils with unusually large cranial capacities (1700-1800 cubic centimeters), challenging the 'Out of Africa' theory of human evolution and prompting debate among paleontologists.

Neanderthal Extinction: Blood Group Incompatibility as a Contributing Factor
A new study suggests that blood group incompatibility between Neanderthals and modern humans, specifically a rare Rh factor in Neanderthals causing neonatal hemolytic disease in mixed offspring, may have contributed to Neanderthal extinction.

Oldest Stone Tools Found, Rewriting Human History
Three-million-year-old stone tools, the oldest ever found, were discovered in Kenya's Homa Peninsula, pushing back the known timeline of tool use by early hominins and providing evidence of butchery through cut marks on animal bones, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of early human developme...

Neanderthal Genes Crucial to Human Survival and Global Expansion
New genetic research reveals that early modern humans outside Africa repeatedly went extinct until interbreeding with Neanderthals conferred immunity to new diseases, enabling their survival and eventual global spread approximately 48,000 years ago.

Ancient DNA Reveals Extensive Neanderthal-Human Interbreeding
Genetic analysis of 42,000-49,000 year-old human remains from Thuringia and Czechia reveals a significant interbreeding event between Neanderthals and early modern humans approximately 47,000 years ago, lasting 7,000 years; this resulted in the presence of Neanderthal DNA in all non-African populati...

Anatolian Origin of Sheep Domestication and its Impact on Human Societies
Genetic analysis of 11,000-year-old sheep bones from Anatolia confirms that sheep domestication began in Southeast Anatolia, leading to the development of white wool and impacting human societies in Europe through migration.

Oldest Ice Core Unearths Clues to Ancient Climate and Human History
An international team of scientists has extracted a 1.2-million-year-old ice core from Antarctica's Little Dome C, the oldest ever retrieved, to study past climate changes and potentially understand a period of disrupted glacial cycles coinciding with a near-extinction event for early humans.
