In a stunning revelation, researchers have uncovered a new human species that is set to revolutionize our understanding of human evolution. Homo juluensis, which lived in Asia around 300,000 to 50,000 years ago,

Researchers identified Homo juluensis, a potential ancient human species, shedding light on Asia’s evolutionary history.

FREE! As recently as 50,000 years ago, a strange species of human wandered eastern Asia. They looked similar to Neanderthals and Homo sapiens except for having huge heads. Scientists have dubbed the likely new species Homo juluensis.

Could another group of ancient humans have lived alongside Homo sapiens? A new study suggests that they did, and scientists are starting to piece together the clues of their forgotten past. A researcher from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa is revealing new insights into a group called the Julurens — meaning the “big head” people.

Researchers reckon that a growing collection of fossils is helping the field to increase its understanding of Late Quaternary eastern Asian paleoanthropology, the era in which this new discovery would
