- The hominin was identified from a total of seven teeth and six small bones and teeth from two adults and one child found in a cave on the island of Luzon in the Philippines.
- Homo Luzonensis is boasted as an eclectic mix of features comparable to different species of hominins.
- Homo Luzonensis' curved finger and toe bones portray a clear difference between the newly discovered species and most members of the Homo genus.
