The discovery of 47 teeth, from homo sapiens, in a cave in Southern China changes humanity’s timeline. You see, they date to 30,000 years before homo sapiens entered Europe. China is much farther from our species’ homeland in Africa than Europe. This suggests that our species were kept out of Europe and Northern Asia by Neanderthals and Denisovians and other archaic hominins for a time. (Guesses are currently around 40,000 years.) But we expanded around them, to central and east Asia. When the archaic hominin species collapsed, homo sapiens moved into what had been their areas.
