It's no wonder why the so-called experts are stumped here. If they base their current knowledge on assumptions that are wrong, new discoveries like this often surface and force them to change their theories to accommodate it. It is clear from God's Word where humans came from and who created them. Starting from this fact, archaeology discoveries may start to make sense to the experts.
Scientists stumped by prehistoric human whose face doesn't fit

The Red Deer Cave people
Associate Professor Darren Curnoe from the University of NSW talks about the discovery in China.
THEY have been dubbed the Red Deer Cave people and they are a big mystery.
Fossils of this previously unknown group of prehistoric humans, who lived as recently as 11,500 years ago, have been discovered in south-west China by a team including Melbourne researchers.
Their highly unusual mix of archaic and modern features raises the possibility they represent a new species of human.
First they say pre-historic animals are big, then later became smaller. Now they are saying the opposite.
As animals evolve, they grow larger: study

"As animals evolve they tend to get larger over time, researchers have concluded in a sweeping study that tracked thousands of creatures over a half-billion-year period."
Researchers Suggest Neanderthal Women Actually Hunted Alongside Neanderthal Men, Gender Roles Not So Specified
Studying the past has always been more than a hobby for some people, especially for archaeologists, paleontologists, and other historical researchers. Yet the study of ancient relatives, close to homo sapiens, garner importance for historians.
In that sense, the ancient species closest to homo sapiens are neanderthals. By studying them, researchers learn how they lived before we replaced them. The discovery of a neanderthal multi-purpose tool points to their ability to innovate. Still, they were probably unable to keep up with the changes, dying out 10,000 years before research says the first homo sapiens arrived. Now researchers are stating that despite believed gender roles, neanderthal women actually hunted alongside their male counterpart.
Milk of human kindness evolved long before our intelligence: Early humans' sense of compassion revealed
Early humans carried pebbles shaped like babies' faces, say researchers
And some 1.5 million years later they had learned to care for the sick
This was a million years before intelligence is thought to have emerged
