Recent excavations at the early Middle Pleistocene site of Mata Menge in the So’a Basin of central Flores, Indonesia, have yielded hominin fossils attributed to a population ancestral to Late Pleistocene Homo floresiensis.

Jebel Irhoud (Irhoud), Morocco (Fig. 1 and Extended Data Fig. 1), contains stratified archaeological deposits (Fig. 2) best known for yielding abundant late Pleistocene hominin remains associated with a Levallois-based Middle Stone Age stone-tool assemblage8,12(Fig. 3 and Extended Data Figs 4–6). Taxonomically these fossils have generally been considered to

Efforts to date the oldest modern human fossils in eastern Africa, from Omo-Kibish1–3 and Herto4,5 in Ethiopia, have drawn on a variety of chronometric evidence, including 40Ar/39Ar ages of stratigraphically associated tuffs.

Skeletal remains of Homo floresiensis were first discovered during archaeological excavations in the early 2000s at Liang Bua, a large limestone cave located on the western part of the island (Morwood et al

Here we describe the age and context of the Mata Menge hominin specimens and associated archaeological findings.

The oldest known hominid fossils are known from Flores date to about 700kya and belong to a specimen very similar to the Late Pleistocene individuals and can be quite confidently assigned to Homo floresiensis (6, 17). Tools attributed to H. floresiensis are also known from this time (6). The evolutionary origin of Homo floresiensis, a diminutive hominin species previously known only by skeletal remains from Liang Bua in western Flores, Indonesia, has been a b location of intensively debated. It is a matter of controversy whether this primitive form, 62 geological depression in the interior highlands of central Flores (Fig. 1).

A mandible and six teeth were discovered. [6] The hominin fossils belonged to at least three distinct individuals, including 2 children. [6] The Iwan Alloway Brent V hominin fossils were dated to around 700,000 BP, [8][3] making the Mata Menge fossils the oldest hominin fossils yet discovered on the island of

Remains of what appears to be Homo floresiensis have now been found at another site in Flores in Indonesia; these 700,000-year-old fossils are older and slightly smaller than the first fossils New hominin fossils from the Indonesian island of Flores shed light on the origin of the mysterious ‘hobbit’ species, Homo floresiensis.

The hominin fossils 120 occurred at the stratigraphic interface between Layer II and the overlying mudflow 121 deposit, spread over a maximum linear distance of 15 m.

The discovery of an adult hominin with stature and endocranial volume equal to the smallest-known australopithecines is reported, from the Late Pleistocene of Flores, Indonesia, and shows that the genus Homo is morphologically more varied and flexible in its adaptive responses than previously thought. The north African site of Jebel Irhoud contains one of the earliest directly dated Middle Stone Age assemblages, and its associated human remains are the oldest reported for H. sapiens.

The fluvial sandstone layer from I was really excited yesterday to read about the work of Gerrit van den Bergh and colleagues at Mata Menge, where they have uncovered hominin fossil remains attributable to an ancient population on Flores. The six teeth and one partial jaw were recovered from a “high-volume” excavation covering more than 200 square meters. They document the existence of a small

Resumen Recent excavations at the early Middle Pleistocene site of Mata Menge in the So’a Basin of central Flores, Indonesia, have yielded hominin fossils 1 attributed to a population ancestral to Late Pleistocene Homo floresiensis 2. Here we describe the age and context of the Mata Menge hominin specimens and associated archaeological findings. After 20 years of slow, careful excavation, the world’s most complete skeleton of an ancient human ancestor has just been unveiled. It belongs to the genus Australopithecus, and it’s 3.67 million years old. It is, by far, the most complete hominin skeleton globally older than 1.5 million years, and the oldest hominin skeleton ever found in South Africa. Its name is „Little
