The earliest modern humans outside Africa

This is fascinating .. more is revealed.

Human fossils found in Israel are oldest to date

A ridge of teeth discovered in a cave in Israel are between 177,000-194,000 years old, according to a paper published today in Science. The teeth appear to be human, and if they are, would be the oldest anatomically modern human fossil found outside of Africa and the oldest fossil with modern human traits found to date.

What it means: Fossils like these, and new gene sequencing tools, are starting to answer questions about when modern humans left Africa, and when, exactly, they became human. The find in Israel suggests modern humans may have left Africa earlier than previously thought. And, they didn’t just find a jaw — they unearthed sophisticated stone tools, too.

So Jews were in Israel first?

LOL I rather think that there was no one called Jews at that time in our history.

No evidence all humans originated in one place. Do all sponges come from Africa., too? No evidence 'hominids' are ancestors of humans, either, no transitional fossils that establish that as fact.

What is a 'transitional fossil'? I thought every fossil was a transitional fossil.

A side note, look how healthy all the teeth are. No candy bars back then.

Yes a very interesting find.

Means they came from a young person most likely; in many cases of the remains of older humans' skeletons the teeth have been ground down from chewing sand or other hard particulates in the food and hard grains and the like.

Fossils pop up as creatures already 'whole' in distinct layers according to time periods, with no transitional fossils in between the periods and eras. As for 'human-like' fossils, the gaps are huge, and the entire collection of them now possessed around the world will fit on the average kitchen table. You can pretend that's enough fossil evidence to make full blown 'scientific' claims of millions of years of ancestry if you like, it just won't be scientific proof, that's all. Eliminate the fossils from extinct species of apes and monkeys, and you are left with a much smaller fossil record of humans. 'Evolution' speculation is a political agenda, not proven science, and has been since Darwin's publishing of his adaption theories.

You say there are no transitional fossils but you don't say what a 'transitional fossil' looks like. What characteristics of a fossil would you agree makes that fossil 'transitional'?

It's a given the person likely wasn't over 30, 40 max as people didn't live past that age. I would have assumed most would know that but apparently not. No matter, the teeth don't just look healthy they look almost perfect. No toothbrush and no dentists. See.

Ridiculous statement there are myriad 'transitional' fossils. I find it amusing how many people that NEED evolution to be wrong will ignore evidence that goes against their world view. Sorry, the evidence is numerous and easily found online.

The US is a faith-based country and proud of it. How else can you explain our belief in Trump's promises?

'Our'. You project. And 'faith based'? What, to you, does that mean.

And no junk food.

'Our' as in America. If one's faith is strong enough there is no evidence that can contradict it. Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall and now he wants Congress to fund it to the tune of billions of dollars. Cognitive dissonance? Not if your faith in Trump is strong.
