Palaeoanthropology: Human evolution writ small
Marta Mirazón Lahr1 & Robert Foley1
Abstract
We are the only living species of the genus Homo. Given the startling results of a cave excavation in Southeast Asia, it seems that we coexisted with another species until much more recently than had been thought.
The fossils described elsewhere in this issue probably left no descendants, are not very old, and were found on a remote island. Despite this, they are among the most outstanding discoveries in palaeoanthropology for half a century.
- Marta Mirazón Lahr and Robert Foley are in the Leverhulme Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies, Department of Biological Anthropology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3DZ, UK.
