The document summarizes scientific findings about early humans in the Philippines, including Callao Man and Tabon Man. Callao Man is a Homo species dated to around 67,000 years ago discovered in Callao Cave, making it the oldest known human remains in the Philippines. Tabon Man refers to skull and jawbone fragments discovered in Tabon Cave in Palawan dated to around 24,000-22,000 BCE, making them the earliest known human remains in the Philippines until the discovery of Callao Man. Both Callao Cave and Tabon Cave provide evidence of Stone Age tool making and habitation by early humans in the Philippines.

filipinos The current demarcation line between this period and the early history of the Philippines is 900 CE, which is the date of the first surviving written record to come from the Philippines, the Laguna Copperplate Inscription. This period saw the immense change that took hold of the archipelago from Stone Age culturens in the 4th century CE, continuing on with the gradual widening of trade until 900 CE and the first surviving written records.
Callao Man (c. 41000 BCE)
Callao man refers to fossilized remains discovered in Callao Cave, Peablanca, Cagayan, Philippines in 2007 by Armand Salvador Mijares.
Callao Man (c. 41000 BCE)
As of July 2010, the biological classification of Callao Man is uncertain. The metatarsal bone discovered (Right MT3 the small bone from the end of the middle toe of the right foot) has been identified as coming from a species of genus Homo, but the exact species classification is uncertain. It has been speculated that Callao Man may be Homo sapiens or Homo floresiensis, though the latter is sometimes considered a pathological specimen of the former. Distinguishing between the two species would require material from the skull or mandible. As of 2012, the team that discovered the bone were seeking permission to search for more bones in the area.
Callao Man (c. 41000 BCE)
A team of archaeologists led by Dr. Armand Mijares of the University of the PhilippinesDiliman has confirmed that a foot bone they discovered in Callao Cave in Cagayan province was at least 67,000 years old. Tabon Mans remains were a relatively young 50,000 years old. Based on the single bone, it is not clear that Callao Man was male. But they do know that its physical size was similar to the modern Negrito, or Aytas of Luzon.
Callao Man (c. 41000 BCE)
The largest amount of prehistoric evidence of human existence in the Philippine was found in the Cagayan Valley. This species is also held to be Homo erectus philippinensis. The evidence dates back to the Palaeolithic Age, showing that Cagayan Man settled in the area over 500,000 years ago. One theory states that the Cagayan Man followed prehistoric animals to the then uninhabited Philippines from another are, through land bridges that connected the islands to the rest of the continent.
Callao Man (c. 41000 BCE)
The Cagayan Valley was then met and mashy, and Cagayan Man opted to live in the drier forests surrounding the area. Scientists discovered fossil remains of large animals in Tuguegarao , Cagayan, along with fragments of stone tools which may have been made and used by Cagayan Man for the purpose of hunting and butchering these animals.
Callao Man (c. 41000 BCE)
The fossilized animal bones were identified by Dr.
Yves Coppans to be skulls, teeth, and tusks from rhinoceros, stegodons, and elaphas (a pygmy elephant). It can thus be said that the Cagayan Man was a cava dweller who used tools made from pebbles and rocks. The sides of the stones were chipped off to create a sharp edge that could be used for cutting. There has also been evidence that there tools have been worked on and refined to give it a better shape. Larger tools were made from rock cores hammered to form a sharp point.

These fossilized tools were similar to those found with Java Man and Peking Man and were dated to the same time period; however, scientists failed to find fossilized proof of Cagayan Mans bones. The earliest human remains known in the Philippines are the fossilized remains discovered in 2007 by Armand Salvador Mijares in Callao Cave, Cagayan, Philippines. A 67,000 tears old remains that predates Tabon Man.
Callao Man (c. 41000 BCE)
Specifically, they find consisted of a single 61 milimeter metatarsal which, when dated using uranium series ablation, was found to be at least about 67.000 years old. If definitively proven to be remains of Homo sapiens, it would antedate the 47,000 year old remains of Tabon Man to become the earliest human remains known in the Philippines, and one of the oldest human remains in the Asia Pacific.

Tabon woMan (c. 24000 or
22,000 BCE) Tabon Man refers to remains discovered in the Tabon Caves in Lipuun Point in Quezon, Palawan in the Philippines on May 28, 1962 by Dr. Robert B. Fox, an American anthropologist of the National Museum of the Philippines. These remains, the fossilized fragments of a skull and jawbone of three individuals, were believed to be the earliest human remains known in the Philippines until a metatarsal from "Callao Man" discovered in 2007 was dated in 2010 by uranium-series dating as being 67,000 years old. The Tabon fragments are collectively called "Tabon Man" after Tabon Cave, the place where they were found on the west coast of Palawan.
Tabon woMan (c. 24000 or
22,000 BCE) The Tabon Caves are a series of caves situated in a limestone promontory at Lipuun Point in Southwestern Palawan. In this area, cave occupation of a sporadic or temporary nature by modern humans seems to be indicated into the early Holocene. In the earlier Holocene, several sites show more intensive or frequent occupation; local people appear to have been strongly focused on land-based, riverine, and estuarine resources; and in many cases the sea is known to have been many kilometers away from the cave sites.
Tabon woMan (c. 24000 or
22,000 BCe) The fossil which skull and jawbone on three individuals, discovered on May 28, 1962 by Dr. Robert B. Fox, an American anthropologist of the National Museum. These fragments are collectively called Tabon Man After the place where they were found on the west coast of Palawan. Tabon Cave appears to be a kind of Stone Age factory, with both finished stone flake tools and waste core flakes having been found at four separate levels in the main chamber.
Tabon woMan (c. 24000 or
22,000 BCe) Charcoal left from three assemblages of cooking fires there has been Carbon-14 dated to roughly 7,000, 20,000, and 22,000 BCE. Tabon Cave is named after the Tabon Bird (Tabon Scrubfowl, Megapodius Cumingii), which deposited thick hard layers of guano during periods when the cave was uninhabited so that succeeding groups of tool-makers settled on a cement-lke floor of bird dung.
Tabon woMan (c. 24000 or
22,000 BCe) That the inhabitants were actually engaged in tool manufacture is indicated that about half of the 3,000 recovered specimens examined are discarded cores of a material which had to be transported from some distance.
Tabon woMan (c. 24000 or
22,000 BCe) The Tabon man fossils are considered to have come from a third group of inhabitants, who worked the cave between 22,000 and 20,000 BCE. An earlier cave level lies so far below the level containing cooking fire assemblages that it must represent Upper Pleistocene dates like 45 or 50 thousand years ago. Physical Anthropologists who have examined the Tabon Man skullcap are agreed that it belonged to modern man, homo sapiens, as distinguished from the mid-Pleistocene Homo erectus species.
Tabon woMan (c. 24000 or
22,000 BCe) This indicates that Tabon Man was PreMongoloid (Mongoloid being the term anthropologists apply to the racial stock which entered Southeast Asia during the Holocene and absorbed earlies peoples to produce the modern Malay, Indonesian, Filipino, and Pacific peoples). Two experts have given the opinion that the mandible is Australian in physical type and that the skullcap measurements are most nearly like the Ainus or Tasmanians.

Recently, it was concluded that Tabon
mans physical appearance from the recovered skull fragments believed to be a woman.
