Three species of early humans lived in same era in close proximity

    Press/Media: Research

    Description

    Only a few years ago, scientists believed modern humans evolved in Africa, and
    then left to colonise a world free of similar species. Recently, we have learnt this is not quite right. By the time Homo sapiens left Africa, several of our less-evolved ancestors had already travelled to parts of the world.
