In a handful of fossilized teeth and bones, scientists say they’ve found evidence of a previously unknown human species that lived in what is now the Philippines about 50,000 years ago.

Small-jawed with dainty teeth, able to walk upright but with feet still shaped to climb, these island creatures were a mix-and-match patchwork of primitive and advanced features in a unique variation of the human form, the scientists reported Wednesday in the journal Nature.(Snip)

So, how far was this cave from Olongapo? Just wondering.
Depending on what dating shows, could at least be cousins . . .
The hills around Subic are filled with the little people. The Spanish called them Negritos (little blacks) and the name stuck.
These aborigines are fierce people. Wrong one and you may wake missing a few vital parts. So silent, you won’t even feel the pain.
There are way too many companies selling information that they never paid for, but copied from other sources.
In fact, I am sick and tired of people trying to sell me my personal family information that they stole from me!
The teeth look yellow. They had cigarettes 48,000 B.C.?
#12 They sure did evolve nicely.....

No, but the had roots and other various plants.
I collect all grievances and give them a number. I respond in the order received. I will get to yours in 2034.
Turn about is fair. We discovered the democrat.
It should be called either Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Liberal Democrats...because they should be as extinct as those fossils...
Philippines are islands therefore there would be genetic drift. Think of what those 50,000 year old humanoid monkey feet beings were looking like 10,000 years earlier at 60,000 years ago?! Who exactly was reproducing with whom?!
