A new species of hominin, Homo luzonensis, was recently described from an assemblage of thirteen fossil elements discovered in Callao Cave (Northern Luzon, The Philippines). In 2010, the analysis of a third metatarsal discovered in 2007 and directly dated to a minimum age of 67 thousand years ago, suggested it belonged to the genus Homo, but to which species was unclear. Twelve additional hominin elements representing at least three individuals were discovered in 2011 and 2015 in the same stratigraphic layer than the metatarsal.
