The project

Experimental - Draft for comments

Hominines Origins is a revisable editorial synthesis, not a certified scientific database. Primary literature (DOI) remains the reference. The app is generated from a structured collection of data extracted from research papers with the help of AI. Claims stay traceable and linked to sources, with a DOI when one is available.

The map and timeline show where each group lived, when, how they moved, and what material traces say about appearance and technology. The app runs in the browser: no server, no login.

Under the display, the catalogue is JSON-LD: that is what the app loads. You can read it here.
