Fossil Evidence of Early Homo Sapiens Rewrite Human Evolution

In this video, we’ll be talking about the recent discovery of early modern human fossils in Africa and the Middle East. Skhul cave in Israel is the latest site to yield evidence of early modern human presence, dating back some 160,000 years. This is the oldest evidence of modern humans outside of Africa and raises questions about the timing and dispersal of our ancestors. In the Middle East, a team of archaeologists has discovered the remains of a previously unknown early modern human in Omo Kibish. This site, which dates back around 120,000 years, provides evidence for the presence of early modern humans in the region at an earlier time than previously thought.
