Modern Humans Emerged Far Earlier Than Previously Thought (Trinkaus)

An international team of researchers, including Dr. Erik Trinkaus, a physical anthropology professor at Washington University in St. Louis, has discovered well-dated human fossils in southern China that markedly change anthropologists' perceptions of the emergence of modern humans in the eastern Old World. The research, based at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing, was published Oct. 25 in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.  For the full Record article, click here.
