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.
