How many fragments and how far apart this time?
. Well Australopithecus afarensis has about 400 fossils including a nearly complete skeleton that you’re familiar with as Lucy . If you’re referring to “Lucy’s knee” that only belonged to Lucy if she had 3 legs .

I don’t know if Homo luzonensis has been described yet so I can’t tell you any details . But it does mean that there were once more species of human on this planet besides us. Homo neanderthalensis ; H floresiensis, the Denisovians and now this one . All extinct except for some minor hybridation with H sapiens with the male Neanderthals and the Denisovians

One metatarsal found in 2007, since then...

Altogether, the team—a group of French and Australian researchers, as well as Mijares himself—found a partial femur, two hand phalanges, two feet phalanges, and seven teeth, from at least three individuals. They dated one of the molars to a minimum age of 50,000 years, slightly younger than the metatarsal. They weren’t able to extract any DNA from the fossils, making it impossible to conduct phylogenetic analyses. Instead they base their conclusions on detailed examination of the remains, using a range of techniques including traditional measurements, micro CT scans, and 3-D morphometric analyses.
New Species of Human, Homo luzonensis, Identified in the Philippines

Some scientists don't think there is enough evidence yet to say this is a new species.

Humans came from humans. It's in the Holy Bible ;)
. There were more species of humans besides us. These were different species. We modern humans might be a sort of ring species . We could mate with male Neanderthals and produce fertile offspring but not with the female Neanderthals. So they were a completely different species. The Denisovians were also a different species even though we do find their genes in some modern human populations

Where do you see any of this in the biblical record?

. It’s called genetics! Scientists can tell whether a gene came from a male or a female . Laymen really have no clue how much scientists know

Yep. Only different species of humans. And those species were from non-human hominins.

It's in the Holy Bible

Nope. In fact, there's a good probability that Adam and Eve were H. erectus, not H. sapiens.

Same part of the Bible that discusses protons. Not everything that's true, is in the Bible.

The Bible does record how human life began. You can read about it in the "Genesis" book.
