An ancient skull recovered by Chinese scientists may suggest that modern humans were present in Asia much earlier than previously thought, with researchers theorising the remains came from an unknown new species.

A new archaic human species dating back 300,000 years has been found in East China. This individual has distinct features not seen in modern humans, Neanderthals, or Denisovans.
