We are not alone. If there is any truth to the testimony of eyewitnesses worldwide, we appear to live amidst a variety of humanlike and apelike creatures whose existence has been largely ignored, forgotten, or denied, at least in recent history. Despite the crowding of the earth’s surface with our species, and the encroachment by Homo sapiens into the mountains, wildernesses, and wild places around the world, there is apparently ample room left over for our elusive cousins to hide. And they have done just that–for the most part. But as the reports of encounters accumulate, it has become increasingly clear that an understanding of these creatures lies not in myth, folklore, and legend, but ultimately, in reality.

The news articles are easy to find, such as this one here. In 2000, Richard Leakey found an ancient complete skull of Homo erectus (shown above) within walking distance of an upper jaw of a Homo habilis, and both dated from the same general time period. That makes it unlikely that H. erectus evolved from Homo habilis, a new study states.
Few of us in cryptozoology and hominology were surprised as the entire concept of “we are not alone” underlies the notion that Homo sapiens and other unknown hominoids have lived concurrently, as well as other species of higher primates for thousands, if not millions of years.
This “breaking news” is no surprise at all. But a cool graphic came out of the discussions last week, nevertheless. There are probably some good fossil candidates in this mix for relicit hairy hominoids still existing within the modern era.
