A circular accumulation of mammoth bones found in Molodova I site in Ukraine, is potentially the oldest Mammoth Hut structure found. The creation of this structure has been attributed to Neanderthals and has provided significant insight into the possible relationship between mammoths and early humans as well as information on Neanderthal subsistence strategies [1].

SK 7923, an unknown hominin from the Swartkrans cave site, in South Africa provided the earliest evidence of cancer in hominins. An osteosarcoma was found in its partial left fifth metatarsal, demonstrating that tumors unrelated to modern lifestyle also developed in ancient hominins [1][2].

CCH1 or Callao Cave Hominin 1 is the right third metatarsal of a Homo luzonensis, a small-bodied ancient hominin discovered in Callao Cave in the Philippines (HL WP, Mijares et al. 2010, Detroit et al. 2019).

The Dmanisi people were a population of Early hominins whose fossils have been recovered at Dmanisi, Georgia. The fossils and stone tools recovered at Dmanisi range in age from 1.85–1.77 million years old, making the Dmanisi hominins the earliest well-dated hominin fossils in Eurasia and the best preserved fossils of early Homo from a single site so early in time, though earlier fossils and artifacts have been found in Asia. Though their precise classification is controversial and disputed, the Dmanisi fossils are highly significant within research on early hominin migrations out of Africa. The Dmanisi hominins are known from over a hundred postcranial fossils and five famous well-preserved skulls.
