Discoveries now suggest modern Homo sapiens existed much earlier, around 200,000 B.C.E. This major change in our understanding of human existence spurred new calculations and consultations with experts, resulting in an estimate that about 117 billion members of our species have ever been born on Earth.

The form and function of chimpanzee buttress drumming
Highlights
•
Chimpanzees produce low-frequency sounds by drumming on buttress roots of trees.•
Drumming is used across contexts with apparently long- and short-distance functions.•
Chimpanzee drums encode individual signatures in travel events but not in displays.•
Patterns of production suggest drumming coordinates fission–fusion dynamics.- https://youtu.be/w-a…
