Recent findings from Paleoanthropology and philosophical implications.
summaryInitial intervention of Professor Jordana who exposes the "status quaestionis" of the most recent paleoanthropological data . Commentary on some philosophical questions by Professor Murillo, and interventions on interpretation of the data and questions of method.
Authors: Rafael Jordana and José Ignacio Murillo.
summary: Describes the scientific discoveries that show that early humans (Homo habilis) emerged from bipedal ancestors 4 million years ago and are identifiable in the fossil record as early as 2 million years ago.

Human genetic diversity 100,000 years ago
summary: Human palaeogenetic studies based on mitochondrial DNA are described, as well as studies of Neanderthals, with special emphasis on the study of Denisovans and their relationships with other branches of the human lineage.

Homo floresiensis. The great little mystery of human evolution
summary: A first part makes a summary of the rapid changes in the evolutionary panorama of man, as new remains are discovered over the few that are known, and a second part details the finding, its significance for the human evolutionary panorama and the perspectives that are opening up.

The uncertainty of human phylogenies
summary: Difficulties in establishing human phylogenies: to establish phyletic relationships, to determine palaeospecies, the precariousness of the fossil record, and intellectual a prioris.

summary: About 40,000 years ago three Humanities occupied the Earth: homo sapiens, neanderthals and denisovans, a group of which nothing was known and from which we inherited part of the immune system.
