BogeyOne: Remarkable, these researchers
determined that this new species of human lived as recently as 13,000
years ago, shattering the long-held belief that Homo sapiens have had
the planet to themselves for the past 25,000 years.
This hominin had originally been considered remarkable for its survival until relatively recent times, only 12,000 years ago.[7] However, more extensive stratigraphic and chronological work has pushed the dating of the most recent evidence of its existence back to 50,000 years ago.[8][9][10] The Homo floresiensis skeletal material is now dated from 60,000 to 100,000 years ago; stone tools recovered alongside the skeletal remains were from archaeological horizons ranging from 50,000 to 190,000 years ago.[1]
