If you want to call it human...

An ancient human fossil discovered from the seafloor near Taiwan reveals that a primitive group of humans, potentially an unknown species, once lived in Asia, researchers say.
These findings suggest that multiple lineages of extinct humans may have coexisted in Asia before the arrival of modern humans in the region about 40,000 years ago, the scientists added.
Although modern humans, Homo sapiens, are the only surviving human lineage, others once walked the globe. Extinct human lineages once found in Asia include Neanderthals, the closest extinct relatives of modern humans; Denisovans, whose genetic legacy may extend from Siberia to the Pacific islands of Oceania; Homo erectus, the most likely ancestors to modern humans; and the hobbitlike Homo floresiensis, who lived in Indonesia. These all are hominins — the group of species consisting of humans and all their relatives after the split from the chimpanzee lineage. [The 10 Biggest Mysteries of the First Humans]
Now, scientists have revealed the first ancient human fossil — a nearly complete right side of a lower jaw with primitive-looking teeth — to be found in Taiwan.
The fossil was dredged by a fishing net from the seafloor about 200 to 400 feet (60 to 120 meters) below the surface of the Penghu Channel, located about 15.5 miles (25 kilometers) off the western coast of Taiwan. The channel was part of the Asian mainland during the last ice age, when sea levels were lower.

Popcorn!
What does that map mean ?
I think that in the future, archeologists will dig up a couple of the bones of those old drooling brothers with severe mental retardation, and build an entire human lineage off them.
Wouldn’t that be great! A whole new world built off 1 or 2 small fossils.
In other words, whatever.
It's what the world looked like during the Ice Age when there was less water in the world's oceans.
SEE!
The Algerians were right!
Global Warming killed this guy 40,000 years ago!
The Piltdown Man rides again!
Sorry, that was supposed to be Algorians .
Get Reiner Protsch von Zieten to investigate!
If it’s a fossil, it’s more likely to be an OLD species of human.
Some of us guessed that, though if Algeria were Algoria, it would be fairly close to Chad, which hangs right in the middle of north Africa...

How about, "sometime in the past?"
Early reports are these humanoids were concerned about global warming due to their cooking fires so they relied on solar power to cook their meals and thereby save the planet.

The result of British Dentistry??
