Where this comes from

Abstract

A greater degree of Late Quaternary hominin morphological variability is present in eastern Asia than previously assumed. Indeed, a number of distinct populations are present, some that now have new specific names: <i>Homo floresiensis</i>; <i>H. luzonensis</i>; <i>H. longi</i>; <i>H. juluensis</i>. With this piece, we describe the various groupings based on the current hominin fossil record of eastern Asia.
