Million-Year-Old Skull Discovery Raises Questions About Human Origins
A newly analyzed million-year-old human skull from China has led researchers to propose that *Homo sapiens* emerged at least half a million years earlier than previously believed. The skull, identified as an early form of *Homo longi*, suggests a longer period of co-existence with other sister species like Neanderthals. This finding dramatically shifts the timeline of human evolution and challenges existing understanding of early human species. Although compelling, other experts caution that further evidence is needed to confirm these conclusions.
