Oldest Homo sapiens bones ever found shake foundations of the human story

Fossils recovered from an old mine on a desolate mountain in Morocco have rocked one of the most enduring foundations of the human story: that Homo sapiens arose in a cradle of humankind in East Africa 200,000 years ago.

Archaeologists unearthed the bones of at least five people at Jebel Irhoud, a former barite mine 100km west of Marrakesh, in excavations that lasted years. They knew the remains were old, but were stunned when dating tests revealed that a tooth and stone tools found with the bones were about 300,000 years old

The more we dig and discover the more questions we have...But anyways this doesn't help the religious fuckers that want to control everything with no evidence for their worthless beliefs.

Well, it changes things for evolutionists. It doesn't change much, if anything, for theist deniers of evolution who are of a mind that humanity began some six to twelve thousand years ago.
"Theist deniers of evolution" :lol:
 
There have been at least a half dozen different species of the Homo Genus walking this Earth for tens of thousands of years, and some of them even intermingled/procreated/traded with each other.


None of this is shocking. We discovered once again that we don't have the final answer? Well, no shit! lol
