A new fossil found in the Manot cave, north of Israel, specifically the upper part of a skull, has shown that both Neanderthals (who became extinct about 28,000 years ago) and sapiens coexisted as nomadic hunters, possibly for millennia. Although the fossil does not reveal conclusive data, it does reveal this cross between the two species and that even the discovered skull could belong to Sapiens-Neanderthal descent. The work has been published in the journal Nature.
A group of fishermen has discovered in Taiwan the jaw of a prehistoric man who lived in this area of the planet about 200,000 years ago, according to analyzes by anthropologists from the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Taiwan (China) and the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo (Japan). The newly discovered fossil remains do not resemble any of the known ancient humans. The work has been published in the journal Nature Communications.
Apparently the legendary Scottish Loch Ness monster has come up with a real competitor. A team of paleontologists led by the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) has discovered on the Isle of Skye, the fossil fragments of a new species of marine reptile from the Jurassic era. These new giant dolphin-like creatures would have lived in the warm, shallow seas of Scotland about 170 million years ago. The find has been published in the Scottish Journal of Geology.

A team of researchers from the University of Alaska, in Fairbanks, has announced the discovery in Upward Sun River, near the Tanana River, in the center of that state, of the remains of two children who were buried more than 11,000 years ago.
A geological formation deposited from Madagascar has been the site of the discovery of the fossil skull of the largest mammal of its time. The analyzes have revealed that this animal would have lived between 66 and 70 million years ago, so it would have coexisted during the era of the dinosaurs in the southern hemisphere. This is explained by experts from the University of Massachusetts Amherst (USA) to the journal Nature.
A team of Chinese and Spanish researchers has published a study in which they reveal the discovery of a few human fossil remains found in the Xujiayao site (China) and that, according to the scientists themselves, are unclassifiable, since they do not belong to any species known human.
