Hindi na ang Tabon Man na natagpuan sa Palawan noong 1962 ang "earliest human remains in the Philippines". Noong 2007, natagpuan ng grupo ng archeologist sa pamumuno ni Armand Salvador Mijares sa Callao Caves sa Peñablanca, Cagayan ang "Callao Man". Ang Tabon Man ay tinatayang 47,000 years old habang ang Callao Man naman ay 67,000 years old, mas matanda ng 20,000.
