The expansion of Homo sapiens out of Africa, especially into eastern Europe, is one of the most important events in the evolutionary history of our species. The Carpathian Mountains, in Romania, constitute one of the routes that these first explorers of Eurasia used, with one of the oldest evidence of human presence in Europe. In the present project, through an unprecedented Romanian-Braz…
The hominin evolution was restricted to Africa from approximately 7 to 2 million years ago. Apparently, the first hominins that left the continent belonged to the genus Homo, as indicated by the findings in Dmanisi, Georgia, dated to 1.8 million years. The Levant must have played an important role in this expansion from Africa to the Caucasus. In the long term, the main goal of this proje…
Two great innovations regarding the origins of the American man were generated in the last five years, and will be of paramount importance for a radical change in the current ideas about the subject. First, biological anthropologists working in Brazil and USA were able to demonstrate that the cranial morphology of the first known americans, called Paleoindians, has no similarity with that…

Since the emergence of Paleoanthropology, about 28 species of the hominin lineage have been recognized in the fossil record, covering approximately 7 million years of evolution. In spite of it, the scarcity and fragmentation of the fossil record makes it difficult to study the characteristics of these species and their evolutionary relationships, which is one of the great challenges of Pa…
The Homo sapiens species is the result of the evolution of a set of 7 genera and about 20 species, which started about 7 million years ago. Since we are dealing with old and fragile fossils, the ability to infer, with an acceptable degree of certainty, their taxonomic characteristics is very scarce. Thus, the evolutionary history of the hominin lineage has undergone several taxonomic revi…
The hominin lineage emerged in Africa seven million years ago and is characterized by a high taxonomic diversity, with at least 28 recognized species. Despite the observed diversity, the fossil record is scarce and highly fragmented. Thus, the difficulty in classifying this material is one of the biggest obstacles in the area. Currently, many specimens still lack a safer taxonomic classif…
