|
Researchers have identified the remains of the earliest known modern humans to have left Africa.
New dating of fossils from Israel indicates that our species (Homo sapiens) lived outside Africa around 185,000 years ago, some 80,000 years earlier than the previous evidence.
Details appear in the journal Science.
The co-lead researcher, Prof Israel Hershkovitz, told BBC News that the discovery would fundamentally alter ideas of recent human evolution.
"We have to rewrite the whole story of human evolution, not just for our own species but all the other species that lived outside of Africa at the time," the researcher, from Tel Aviv University, explained.
Prof Chris Stringer of London's Natural History Museum, who was not involved in the study, said: "The find breaks the long-established 130,000-year-old limit on modern humans outside of Africa.

New qualitative analysis of fossils from Israel indicates that our species (Homo sapiens) lived outside Africa around 185,000 years agone, some 80,000 years before the previous proof. "The new qualitative analysis hints that there may be even older human finds to come back from the region of western Asia."The researchers analysed a fraction of a jawbone with eight teeth, found in Misliya drop 2002. The jawbone looked as if it absolutely was from a contemporary human instead of from one in all the opposite species of human that existed at the time.
