Big-toothed fossil may be new primitive human

The first known prehistoric human from Taiwan has been identified and may represent an entirely new species that lived as recently as 10,000 years ago.  The newly discovered big-toothed human, 'Penghu 1', strengthens the growing body of evidence that Homo sapiens was not the only species from our genus living in Europe and Asia between 200,000 and 10,000 years ago.  Anthropologists have learned that Neanderthals, Denisovans and Homo floresiensis lived in Europe and Asia within that time frame.
