New human species found in the Philippines

- Scientists have found a few bones and seven teeth belonging to a previously unknown species of human. They've named the new species Homo luzonensis, after the island of Luzon in the Philippines where it was found. The bones are tiny, suggesting that Homo luzonensis was under 4 feet tall. That would make it the second species of diminutive human to be found in south-east Asia; in 2007 scientists announced the discovery of Homo floresiensis, found on the island of Flores in Indonesia and nicknamed the hobbit. Both species lived around 50,000 years ago, at a time when Asia was also home to our species, the Neanderthals and a group called the Denisovans. The new species raises many questions, including who were its ancestors and how did it move?

Yes, yes, I know us Filipinos are small. You shouldn't be surprised that our ancestors are also short.
They're not our direct ancestors, but we and them share a much earlier ancestor that gave rise to the genus Homo
Filipinos are Homo Sapiens, this is not your direct ancestor.
It's not our ancestors and definitely don't have relations to modern Filipinos at all. Filipinos are Homo Sapiens and belong to the Austronesian Race
Is it posssible that they mixed with other species in the Philippines?

700,000 years ago hominids were roaming around Northern Philippines, are those hominids shrunk until they disappeared?
Probably they mixed with other species.
@@lecjan22bay Or the sapiens probably took over and they went extinct. The neanderthals mixing in with the sapiens is probably because they somewhat have a same body structure. But who knows? The sapiens might've been attracted to legal lolis back then and the luzonensis also mixed in.
There are still dense forests in the Philippines that have not been penetrated by civilization. There's bigfoot and yeti in other places, and little foot in the Philippines.
@@dgr8flav yes I saw a yeti and a bigfoot dancing with a hobbit once

A great additional pride for all humanity. Discovering our ancestors
Correlating small stature to limited resource I think is wrong, it could be the other way around. Their resources (in the forest) is abundant so there is no need to bulk up. Animals in the tropics tend to be small for the same reason.
Ur body needs to be efficient with many task and difficult terrains to go about gives the smaller physique mobility and practicality.
They were small not because of nutrition defiency, they became small because they were on a small island. They shrunk to fit their environment. It's called Foster's rule.
@@cooliodiablo6117 I dunno. There are plenty of small animals in the Amazon together with the big ones. They're all just theories. Small size can be an advantage where there's lush cover and plenty of predators.
@@cooliodiablo6117 Similar to Channel Island Mammoth, and others. But, I'd like to know more about the smaller size theory in rain forests due to abundance of calories. Eskimos and native American tribes were often feast/famine cycle; thus prone to diabetes more than general population.
If they are climbing trees then small size is a benefit. A bigger person could break branches and fall.

I have been trying to understand this story in the news for a couple of days , but this is by far the best explanation . Now Black holes ?
Collapsed stars which have an inward gravitational pull so strong it affects entire galaxies and not even light can escape it's force.
Completely theoretical until recently, so we don't actually know anything beyond the fact they exist at this point.
Adding on to the other comment. The gravity is so immense, it warps time if you were to be near it.
We are rotating around a black hole in the center of our galaxy, the closer you are to the black hole, the slower time gets, once something reaches the event horizon, it would feel like it take infinite time to move. Thus being said, not even time can escape a black hole. Now I may have some info butchered, so correct me if I'm wrong.

@@cerulean5299 they cant yet reap the genes from dose boney
Im sure a geneticist can tell the difference between a somwehat entirely different DNA matrix versus a single mutation, hormonal or metabolic disorders leading to dwarfism.
@@7saany
old bones doesn't have DNA unless they have bone marrow in them , and maybe they can tell in a way but im asking how ?
Because we know how deformities look like, and these ancient ancestors in some cases would be found in tribes. Which meant it wasn’t likely just a deformed human, that happens to be preserved while every non deformed skeleton just magically disappeared. And yes, DNA is sometimes found in preserved bones.

That would explained why us Asian are small in status. Interbreeding yes but we still have lots of their genes
That doesn't explain that... modern Asians are Modern Humans.

@@amaliahmontefalcodelmoral651 I'm 6'2 Filipino tho and my brother is 6'4
If it's not a case of interbreeding, it could be a case of convergent evolution. Similar environmental pressures led to similar adaptations in different human species.
The number of bone fragments is not enough to conclude that it is from a human.
How did you know?
Gwapito The DNA analysis confirmed it as a subspecies of human. We are modern humans therefor the old bones that were found can be tested and compared to our own DNA, which shows us that their DNA appears similar to our own. In layman’s terms, that is how the process of verifying a species is carried out. Just because wooly mammoths are extinct doesn’t mean that they didn’t exist. For example, because of DNA analysis and preserved remains we are able to identify the animal as an early relative of the elephants we are familiar with today. This is the general concept used to identify links between modern and extinct species.
You got schooled baby😁😁😁
You got educated mah friend.
That Tarsier in Bohol can never be seen in any islands in the Philippines or the world. I hope they will study that too. We have caves everywhere. I saw some fossils in the roofs.

Katoliko: are you sure about THAT?!?
Fascinating is an understatement. Love all this. Want more info please.
I remember Richard Leakey in a lecture in the early Eighties stating there are no more "missing links" that we have discovered the full progression of human evolution. Was this all before more and more types of co-existing hominids were discovered, i.e. like Homo Naledi, or like here, Luzonensis? Thanks to "nature video" for providing this intriguing video!
Science is never stagnant
That is why the big Bang is called a theory.
No. They had discoveries that they suppress for decades before that statement. You have to understand that scientists put all their marbles into one basket on this subject and they didn't want to waste 150ish years of digging in one spot.

@@joegonzalez6241 Untrue. Homo Naledi and Homo Florensiensis were not discovered until the 21st century. Leakey was just wrong. Stupid for you to assume he was both all knowing and with evil intent.
Video Title makes it as fact...ten seconds in says scientists "THINK" it belongs to previous unknown species of humans.
It's the state of youtube in 2019, clickbait titles to garner views. It is ashame they did it on this video tho, if they had put a question mark at the end of the title, New human species found in the Philippines?, people would have still been intrigued and clicked on it.
Science is almost always hypothetical. We think the sun is made of certain gases, but without actually getting a sample we have no way to actually prove it. We just assume our predictions are correct.
A scientist will say the sun is most likely those gases, a layman will say with certainty it is. The script was written from a scientist's perspective and the clickbait title from a layman's.

How do they know it isn't from a young specimen and that is why it is so small? Or maybe a stunted adult? How do they know it is a typical adult?
From years worth of studying the difference between the development and structure of childrens vs adult bones, and little people vs prople of natural growth. They are not saying it is. They said they believe based on evidence.

@Mark Picardi oh no they're not.
Out of Africa migrations occurred a number of times, before Homo-Naledi as Homo-Sapiens did 65,000-70,000 bp. The caves in Laos reveals one dated 125,000 bp. However, south east Asia is a rich melting pot. Good work.

There was giants in many nations too
isn't it interesting that they have found a little bone and they have developed a whole species form that tiny bone. which could have come from a child or underdeveloped pinoi. not unusual and then a bent toe we have another species. wow!!!

Under what environmental circumstances does one human species evolve into several different species? How extreme does the environment change have to be for the split to happen?
The most obvious cause in this case is being stuck alone on an island. When members of the same species are separated from each other, they evolve separately, and eventually become different species if not eventually reunited.
