New human species discovered in the Phillipines

Quote:It's known as [i]Homo luzonensis[/i], after the site of its discovery on the country's largest island Luzon.
Its physical features are a mixture of those found in very ancient human ancestors and in more recent people.
That could mean primitive human relatives left Africa and made it all the way to South-East Asia, something not previously thought possible.
The find shows that human evolution in the region may have been a highly complicated affair, with three or more human species in the region at around the time our ancestors arrive.

The original "chain" was pictured as a straight progression because the creators wanted to be at the "end" of human evolution. "We are the crown of creation!" works even for areligious people.

I thought you said you pumped for about ten seconds. That really would have been excited.
