Some human were earlier in Asia then modern man http://news.yahoo.com/ancient-tools-show-mysterious-humans-occupied-indonesian-island-211108346.html Scientists on Wednesday announced the discovery of stone tools at least 118,000 years old at a site called Talepu on the island of Sulawesi, indicating a human presence. The scientists said no fossils of these individuals were found in conjunction with the tools, leaving the toolmakers' identity a mystery. "We now have direct evidence that when modern humans arrived on Sulawesi, supposedly between 60,000 and 50,000 years ago and aided by watercraft, they must have encountered an archaic group of humans that was already present on the island long before," said archaeologist Gerrit van den Bergh of University of Wollongong in Australia.
No. Sorry if I gave that impression. I was just pointing out that at least one dead-end species of our relatives did indeed pop up in a surprising location: on an island in Indonesia.
