Summary/Abstract: The discoveries and analyzes made in recent years demonstrate that everything we know about the evolution of our ancestors may be wrong. In our study, new dating of human evolution, analysis done on early modern human remains and new theories from fossil primate remains to archaic human species have been discussed, by compiling the articles published between 2015 and 2017 in some important scientific journals such as Nature and Science. Submitted studies from cave paintings, where abstract thinking turned into concrete imagery in human evolution, to new dating of first agrarian societies have been also considered and evaluated. Article published from Australopithecus species to early Homo remains, from Neanderthals to Denisovans, from early modern human to modern human were brought together. It is foreseen that this study could also be a useful resource for the interested scientists and students dealing with paleoanthropology.
