Homo juluensis: China’s Ancient 'Big-Head' Ancestors Discovered

Researchers led by Prof. Christopher J. Bae have unearthed Homo juluensis, the "big head people," from China’s fossil sites, dating between 300,000 to 50,000 years ago. These hominins sported unusually large skulls, possibly hinting at bigger brains, hunted in small groups, and crafted simple stone tools.

Published in Nature Communications, this discovery shakes up our understanding of human evolution in Asia, revealing intricate interbreeding with Neanderthals and Denisovans. More digging ahead in our ancient family saga!
