Another new name has been added to the list of human species, with its remains found in a cave in the Philippines.

The remains of this extinct new species have been found in the largest island of Luzon, after which this species has been named Homo luzonesis.

Some physical features found in this species are similar to the ancient human species and today's human species.

It is speculated that this relation can be associated with Africa, which would later have settled in South-East Asia. This was considered to be almost impossible before the discovery of these residues. After this discovery, it is now believed that the development of human species in the Philippines and this region may have been very intriguing because there were already three or more human species living here.

One of these was the 'Hobbit' or 'Homo floresiensis', which were about 50 thousand years in the island of Flores, Indonesia.

Professor Chris Stringer of London's Natural History Museum says, "In 2004, information about human species Homo floresiensis was published in 2004. At that time, I had said that what has been done on Flores to find the human species should also go to the area's islands.''

''My guess was right. On Luzon Island, which is about 3,000 kilometers away from it, has been successful.''

According to Nature Magazine, the remains of Homo luzonesis have been found in the Callao cave present in the north of Luzon. It is being told that they are 67 thousand to 50 thousand years old.

In the remains of the cave, three parts of the human body have been found, including tooth, arms and legs bones. These residences are of four people, one of the remains of a young man. They were released at the time of excavation of cave in 2007.

Some features of Homo luzonesis from today's human species, while many such features, such as the Australopithecine, are similar to human species that are similar to standing and monkeys found in Africa, which occur around 2 to 4 million years ago. Used to go. Some of these features also come from the ancient Homo species.

The fingers of hands and feet are folded inwards, which point to the fact that these people climb on trees.

If there is confirmation that species like Australopithecine could reach Southeast Asia, then it can be an idea that which descendants of human history first came out from Africa.

It is believed that Homo erectus was the first species that left Africa 1.9 million years ago.

The Luzon Island is surrounded by water from all sides, and this is why new discoveries have raised questions on how they would have reached this island.

In addition to Homo luzonesis, a human species named Denisovans was also found in Southeast Asia. It is believed that after coming into this area, this species was mixed with Homo sapiens.

This is considered the basis of DNA analysis because no fossils of Denisovans have been found in this area.

Flores Island of Indonesia is considered to be the home of Homo floresiensis, which is also called Hobbit due to their stature.

It is believed that they lived on earth almost a lakh years ago and had ended 50 thousand years ago. And with go away of them, the time of the arrival of the modern human was started.

Scientists believe that certain symptoms found in Homo floresiensis were also observed in Australopithecine. But some researchers believe that Homo floresiensis come in the genealogy of Homo erectus.
