Matthew Stevens+FollowAncient Jawbone Shakes Up Human HistoryA 1.8 million-year-old human jawbone just turned up in Georgia (the country, not the state!), and it might be the oldest evidence of Homo erectus outside Africa. This find could totally rewrite what we know about early humans leaving Africa. The team still needs to date it, but if it’s older than the famous Dmanisi fossils nearby, we’re talking about a game-changer for our origin story. Imagine—multiple ancient human groups chilling in the Caucasus! #History #HumanOrigins #Archaeology1366Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowAncient Child’s Bones Spill Prehistoric TeaTurns out, humans and Neanderthals were mingling way earlier than we thought—like, 140,000 years ago! Researchers used 3D scans on a child’s skull found in Israel and spotted features from both groups, hinting at some serious interbreeding. Forget the old story of constant fighting—these ancient humans might’ve actually lived side by side, sharing more than just territory. Science is literally rewriting our family tree! #Science #Archaeology #HumanOrigins300Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowAncient Child’s Bones Rewrite Human HistoryTurns out, humans and Neanderthals were getting cozy way earlier than we thought—like 140,000 years ago! Scientists used 3D scans on a child’s skull found in Israel and spotted traits from both groups, hinting at ancient interbreeding. Forget the old story of constant rivalry; this find suggests our ancestors might’ve lived side by side, sharing more than just caves. Makes you wonder what else we’ve got wrong about human history! #Science #Archaeology #HumanOrigins855Share
Brad Arroyo+FollowAncient Tools & the Hobbit Human MysteryMillion-year-old stone tools just turned up on Sulawesi, Indonesia, and they might totally change what we know about the mysterious ‘hobbit’ humans (Homo floresiensis). These tiny humans may have evolved from Homo erectus after getting stranded on islands a million years ago. The wild part? The tools suggest humans were island-hopping way earlier than we thought, but we still don’t know who made them. Imagine what else is hiding out there! #History #Archaeology #HumanOrigins450Share
martinezlaura+FollowPrehistoric Power Couples Had Major Size DramaTurns out, our ancient ancestors weren’t exactly equals—at least not in size! A new study shows male Australopithecus afarensis (think Lucy’s species) were way bigger than females, even more than modern gorillas. This massive size gap hints at intense competition among males and a whole different social scene than what we see in humans today. Imagine a world where the biggest guy really did get all the attention! #Science #humanorigins #evolution20Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowAncient Underwater Highways Found!Imagine if the first humans walked along coastlines that are now deep underwater! Researchers just mapped out these ‘aquaterra’ routes—hidden pathways early humans used to migrate out of Africa, now buried beneath the sea. These lost landscapes could hold clues to our origins, ancient settlements, and even lost cities near Egypt’s Red Sea. The coolest part? Scientists are calling for underwater digs to uncover more secrets. Who knew our ancestors’ road trips were so epic (and wet)? #Science #Archaeology #HumanOrigins83416Share
eday+FollowDragon Man’s True Identity Unmasked!Remember that mysterious 'Dragon Man' skull found in China? Turns out, it’s actually a Denisovan! Scientists finally cracked the case using DNA and protein analysis, revealing the first real look at these ancient humans. Denisovans weren’t just a Siberian footnote—they roamed all over Asia and had some seriously sturdy features. This discovery is totally rewriting what we know about human evolution. Who else is picturing a real-life Game of Thrones ancestor? #DragonMan #Denisovan #HumanOrigins #History40Share
James Brady+FollowLost Ancients Found in Colombia?!Scientists just uncovered a totally new group of ancient humans who lived near the Americas’ land bridge 6,000 years ago! Their DNA doesn’t match any known ancient North or South Americans—basically, they’re a genetic mystery. These people popped up in what’s now Bogotá, Colombia, and then vanished 4,000 years later. No one knows if they mixed in with others or disappeared completely. This twist could totally change what we know about how humans spread across the Americas! #AncientDNA #HistoryMystery #HumanOrigins #Science121Share
Samantha Johnson+FollowDid We Just Find a New Human Ancestor?Archaeologists in Israel just uncovered ancient skull and jawbone fragments that might totally rewrite our family tree. These bones, found at Nesher Ramla, don’t quite fit with Neanderthals or Homo sapiens—they’re a weird mix that could mean there was a whole other group of humans we never knew about! Some scientists even think we might have descended from these mysterious folks instead of just Neanderthals or modern humans. The plot twist: the Levant might be where it all began! #Archaeology #HumanOrigins #History #ScienceNews #AncientMystery #Science7170Share
