A million-year-old skull found in China, known as Yunxian 2, has led scientists to suggest that Homo sapiens began to emerge at least 500,000 years earlier than previously believed.
The research, published in Science, indicates that our species may have co-existed with Neanderthals and Homo longi for nearly a million years, dramatically extending the timeline of human overlap. The find, co-led by Chinese and UK scientists, challenges long-held assumptions, with Prof Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum saying the analysis could “totally change” our understanding of early human evolution.
However, other experts urge caution, noting the uncertainties in dating skull shapes and genetic data. Cambridge University’s Dr Aylwyn Scally said the conclusions are “plausible but far from certain,” stressing the need for more evidence before rewriting history.
While the earliest known Homo sapiens fossils in Africa date back 300,000 years, the discovery fuels debate over whether Asia may also have been a cradle of early humans. The analysis also helps explain confusing fossil evidence from 800,000 to 100,000 years ago, fitting them into the broader picture of three major human species coexisting for much longer than thought.

Yeah right.
