A New Species of Hominin?

Yes.
In China; the bones maybe 14k years old.
In addition to the evolution and migration of H. sapiens and the co-existence of H. floresiensis (12k years old) in the Indonesian area... that means there may very well have been THREE distinct evolutionary (sub)species living in the same area at the same time.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled blog about death and burial.

Disturbing the earth...

Things have been hectic of late... and I haven't had a lot of dedicatable time to come back and update this blog... but in honour of my near-completed decision to switch my major to Anthropology (primarily a matter of grade-point average) I think I will shoe-horn some time to start updating with semi-regular posts.
Nothing too regular just yet... but enough that I start things back up again...
