A Million-Year-Old Skull Could Rewrite Human Evolution
A crushed skull unearthed in China over three decades ago is now shaking the foundations of human evolutionary science. Known as Yunxian 2, the fossil—dated to nearly one million years ago—has been digitally reconstructed by an international team of scientists, revealing features that challenge long-held beliefs about where and when Homo sapiens emerged.
🧠 A New Chapter in Our Origins
Originally classified as Homo erectus, Yunxian 2 was found in Hubei Province in 1990. But thanks to advanced CT scanning and 3D modeling, researchers discovered traits more closely aligned with Homo longi (also known as “Dragon Man”) and even Homo sapiens. This suggests that our evolutionary split from other hominins may have occurred 400,000 years earlier than previously thought—and possibly in Asia, not Africa.
“This changes a lot of thinking,” said Chris Stringer, a paleoanthropologist at the Natural History Museum in London. “By one million years ago, our ancestors had already split into distinct groups, pointing to a much earlier and more complex human evolutionary split than previously believed”.
🔍 The ‘Muddle in the Middle’
The discovery helps clarify the so-called “Muddle in the Middle”—a confusing period between 1 million and 300,000 years ago when multiple hominin species coexisted. Yunxian 2’s unique blend of primitive and advanced traits suggests it may be a transitional form between Homo erectus and later species like Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
“This fossil may represent one of the most important windows yet into the evolutionary processes that shaped our genus,” Stringer added.
🌍 Asia’s Rising Role in Human Evolution
The findings also challenge the dominant “Out of Africa” theory, suggesting East Asia played a more central role in hominin evolution than previously acknowledged. While some experts remain cautious, the study—published in Science—is already sparking global debate.

What should urgently be "rewritten" (but never will be) is the truth about homo sapiens!
ReplyDeleteThat self-given label is utter fake. The biggest lie ever!
At the core of homo sapiens is unwisdom (ie, madness) and so the human label of "wise" (ie, sapiens) is a complete collective self-delusion --- study the free scholarly essay “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room" ... https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

Once you understand that humans are "invisibly" insane (pink elephant people, see cited essay) you'll UNDERSTAND (well, perhaps) why they, especially their alleged experts, perpetually come up with myths and lies about everything ... including about themselves (their nature, their intelligence, their origins, their "supreme" status, etc).
“Repeating what others say and think is not being awake. Humans have been sold many lies...God, Jesus, Democracy, Money, Education, etc. If you haven't explored your beliefs about life, then you are not awake.” --- E.J. Doyle, songwriter
Isn’t it about time for anyone to wake up to the ULTIMATE DEPTH of the human rabbit hole — rather than remain blissfully willfully ignorant in a narcissistic fantasy land and play victim like a little child?
The official narrative is… “trust official science” and "trust the authorities" but as with these and all other "official narratives" they want you to trust and believe …
