This caption explains the classification and grouping of hominin fossils: Homo juluensis (blue stars): Xujiayao, Xuchang, Xiahe, Penghu, Denisova, and Tam Ngu Hao 2. Homo longi (white triangles): Harbin, Dali, and Jinniushan. Homo floresiensis (pink diamond): Liang Bua. Homo luzonensis (green circle): Callao. Hualongdong (black inverted triangle), previously grouped with H. longi, is treated separately pending further investigation. Maba and Narmada (black squares), often considered a distinct population, may eventually be classified as H. neanderthalensis or given a new taxonomic name after further analysis. Details on type specimens and sites for the four species—H. floresiensis, H. luzonensis, H. longi, and H. juluensis—are provided in the accompanying box.
