Yunxian Fossils Redefine Early Human Migration and Lineage

New research shows Yunxian fossils are 1.77 million years old, making them the oldest Homo erectus in East Asia and changing how fast humans spread.

@TheRandomWalk Very true.

My understanding of just one example is that the Gauls/Celts were identified first in the Urals, migrated to Turkey, then Western Europe, to the British Isles.

A slow shift in Pacific rainfall around 1,000 years ago dried Western Polynesia and wetted the east. New climate records suggest Polynesian expansion followed freshwater gradients, not collapse. #PaleoClimate #Archaeology #Polynesia #HumanMigration https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-the-rains-moved-east
