New evidence on the earliest human presence at high northern latitudes in northeast Asia

Article Abstract:

Excavations in predominantly lacustrine sediments at Majuangou, Nihewan basin and north China uncovered four layers of indisputable hominin stone tools. The findings at Majuangou indicate that the oldest known human presence in northeast Asia at 40 degree N is slightly younger than that in western Asia. The result indicate that a long yet rapid migration from Africa, possibly initiated during a phase of warm climate, enabled early human populations to inhabit northern latitudes of east Asia over a prolonged period.

New material of the earliest hominid from the upper Miocene of Chad

Article Abstract:

The knowledge of human evolution in Africa has increased due to the discoveries in Chad by the Mission Paleoanthropologique Franco-Tchadienne. New dental and mandibular specimens from three Toros-Menalla (Chad) fossiliferous localities such as TM 247, TM 266, and TM292 of the same age are described.
