67,000-year-old fossils of new human species were found in the Callao Cave (right) in the Philippines (Credit: Nature via Armand Mijares)

Paleontologists had long believed that ancient humans used land bridges to migrate from one country to another. Hence, Luzon, the largest of the 7,641 islands that comprise the Philippine archipelago in the Western Pacific Ocean, appeared to be entirely out of reach for our ancestors. Now, there is evidence that a previously unknown human species managed to overcome the ocean currents and settle on the island between 50,000 and 67,000 years ago — around the same time as our species, the Homo sapiens and our closest ancestors, the Neanderthals, dwelled on Earth.

                The fact that there are more species of homo sapians is amazing,and the fact that the foot bone is almost complete is amazing.
