Hominim fossil skull fills gap in human evolutionary history...

Early hominin skull fills in “a major gap” in the fossil record – Ars Technica

This extremely rare find bridges the gap between Austalopiths and the other, older fossils found in Africa. The article details some of the physical traits, like an upright faith and jaw shape.

Finds like this are more than they may first appear. They confirm both earlier and later fossils as part of a steady, evolutionary walk from the ancestor of all great apes to modern humans.

What’s also remarkable is that difference species of human ancestors existed at the same time; human evolution is likely non-linear.

Yep. They were very mobile and capable and somewhat organized. The populations would not have stayed as isolated from one another as, say, mountain and lowland gorillas have for so long.

how could you possibly know that???

Transition species usually are not very successful, so there are not many fossils to find.

The one in question here was only around for something like 100,000 years if I remember right.

Which is a fairly short period of time considering they are talking of over 3 millions years of human evolution.
And if the species did not travel much, or have a large population, fining any remains is often nearly impossible.
Species not only disappear from things like plague, competition, climate change, etc., but they can simply be absorbed by a more successful branch they can interbreed with, like what happened with Neanderthal.

Neanderthal never went away. He is still alive in us. We all carry some neanderthal DNA, in fact, it may be an advantage.

That was my point, in that Neanderthals did not die out, but were just absorbed to the point they no longer can be identified within the main human species.

While they may being some advantages, they were somewhat inbred, so brought some weaknesses.

Another neanderthal weakness could have possibly been their immune system didn’t work as well against for example plague, tuberculosis, measles, smallpox, etc.

or its likely complete fabrication

What makes you suspect that?
In fossil history, we have no modern man, but a fairly constant line of more primitive species leading up to modern man.
Seems pretty conclusive to me?
If modern man did not come from this line, then where did he come from, and what happened to this line?

how could you possibly know that???

Because we know their method of locomotion and know they were socially organized.

Look troll, everyone knows you are just posting idiotic stuff for attention. If you had any true interest in this topic, you would do your own research.

Their main disadvantage was that they simply were not as adaptable to the changing climate and circumstances; physically superior, they never outgrew using lunging spears with great strength at close hand with high mortality to hunt food or defend against animals, whereas Homo went on to develop weapons at a distance and many other societal and biological advantages in part using cleverness and invention (tools) to make up for his weaker being which ultimately won him out as the more successful branch of evolution. We "learned."

dont you mean

dont you mean you assume they had these things???

and so I have this straight we are now back to the evolved from primates thing and no longer the common ancestor thing???

just because we dont know for sure doesnt mean we came from monkeys

Sub Saharan negros have no Neanderthal genetic component.

WE know this because of the anatomy of the fossils from the era.

I think he knows that and just misspoke.

thats called make believe,,,

and so we are now going with evolved from primates instead of a common ancestor??
