A stunning discovery in China’s Hubei Province may change everything we thought we knew about human origins. 🦴

Scientists have re-analyzed a million-year-old skull known as Yunxian 2 and believe it shows traits of early Homo sapiens, suggesting our species may have emerged half a million years earlier than previously believed.

If true, this means Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and Homo longi could have co-existed for nearly a million years, reshaping the entire human family tree.

Could our species’ story have started far earlier—and in unexpected places? 🌍
