hominin

In the latter case science isn't sure yet whether the Denisova hominin was a sub-species or species.

Moreover, they highlight the Megalopolis Basin’s exceptional preservation conditions and its role in understanding the evolution of hominin behavior.

Just to be clear about what the term multiregionalism means, it's an argument that there's anatomical continuity between archaic hominin populations around afroeurasia and modern human populations.

So far, there are two proven gene-flow events to Homo sapiens from non-sapiens: Homo neanderthalensis and from the Denisova hominin population.

But if you figure a population density of maybe 1 hominin per every 10 square kilometers times hundreds of stone tools per hominin per year times 1 million years, maybe the numbers work out.

Whenever things got hairy for someone in our hominin tree at any time, they moved just a little bit more to survive.

Humans (and our ancestors) have been eating meat for around 2.5–3 million years, and possibly even earlier if you include earlier hominin species.

Our distant hominin ancestors crossed entire continents but today we set up physical borders and cultural barriers to prevent even neighborly visits.

The submitted article was interesting to me for showing the inventive capacity of an ancestral hominin lineage, which was unknown until the studies reported in the article.

A long lineage of hominin species came before humans!

Please research the case before spewing ad hominin attacks.

In fact, without the inclusion of energetically dense animal food into the hominin diet, starting at least 2.5 million years ago, our large energetically active brains would not have evolved.

I misread that as the "Denisovan period" and found it interesting that in addition to Homo Floresiensis Hobbits, there might have been arbitrarily large Denisova Hominin giants.

"Debates are frequently characterised by people hunkering down with theoretical rigidity and engaging in ad hominin attack, rather than using scientific debate to further knowledge"

"in classic hominin style" -- I don't think that's a word.

I down-vote: * ad hominin attacks with no substance * unoriginal snowclone jokes with no substance * "+1" and "I agree", if that is the entirety of the post * if a post is vastly, enormously over-rated I try to reserve downvote for the last resort.

Hominin is a valid word, it refers to the larger group of humans and proto-human ancestors which are part of the homo genus.

Hominin refers to humans It's florid, but not incorrect.

Hominin is the current term for the human branch that split from the chimpanzee branch about 6 million years ago.
