The Dali skull is so old that archaeologists initially didn't believe it could share features with modern Homo sapiens.

Each of those individual features has been seen before in other hominin species. Species like Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis have long, low cranial vaults like the Harbin skull. But they ...

Researchers detected some differences between the facial features of H. antecessor and Homo affinis erectus. In case of H. antecessor, the bone below the eye socket sloped down and backward, while ...

The skull has facial features that are similar to early modern humans, which scientists think began to branch away from another human ancestor known as Homo erectus sometime between 550,000 and ...

The skull has similar facial features to those of early modern humans. The skull could potentially belong to a direct human ancestor called Homo erectus sometime between 550,000 and 750,000 years ago.

The species’ name can be shortened to Homo aff. erectus.In taxonomy, “aff.” comes from the Latin affinis, meaning “related to,” and it’s often used to indicate a species closely ...

Upon further analysis, the researchers found that the skull exhibits a “mosaic” of features found in homo sapiens, homo erectus and the Denisovans, another early human species that is ...

Homo erectus was both widespread and long-lived. Remains have been found in eastern Africa, eastern Asia and possibly Europe, and they span a period from 1.9 million to 250,000 years ago.
