The brains of these extinct humans, who probably hunted horses in small groups, were much bigger than any other hominin of their time, including our own species.
Paleoanthropologist Xiujie Wu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and anthropologist Christopher Bae from the University of Hawai'i have called this new group the Juluren, meaning"large head people". But Wu and Bae have taken a closer look, and they say the features of some fossils found in China cannot be easily assigned to modern humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans, orTheir mosaic of traits hint at a mix of ancestry between various hominin groups, all living in the same regions of Asia between 300,000 and 50,000 years ago.
"Calling all these groups by the same name makes sense only as a contrast to recent humans, not as a description of their populations across space and time,", but as a way of referring to a particular group of fossils and their possible place in the network of ancient groups."Every few years, it seems, new lineages pop up, weaving in and out with other branches of life before inexplicably coming to an end.
