There were also Neanderthals in what is now Europe, the Near East, and parts of Eurasia; Hobbits (H. floresiensis) on the island of Flores in Indonesia; Denisovans in Siberia and eastern Eurasia; and H. luzonensis in the Philippines. Tom Higham investigates what we know about these other human species and explores what can be learned from the genetic links between them and us. He also looks at whether H. erectus may have survived into the period when our ancestors first moved into Southeast Asia. Filled with thrilling tales of recent scientific discoveries, this book offers an engaging synopsis of our current understanding of human origins and raises new and interesting possibilities--particularly concerning what contact, if any, these other species might have had with us prior to their extinction." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a Fossil hominids. 650 0 $a Paleoanthropology. 650 7 $a Fossil hominids. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933159 650 7 $a Paleoanthropology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051317 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64FB49CCDCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
