"Homo Sapiens Just Got Older—Way, Way Older
Bones found in Morocco place our lineage 100,000 years earlier and nowhere near where we thought.
In 1961, miners digging into a promontory in Morocco, some 50 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean, discovered something very unexpected—a handful of stone tools and an ancient, nearly complete human skull. Eager to learn more, archaeologists proceeded to excavate the site, known as Jebel Irhoud, uncovering five more fossil human bones, as well as dozens of flint tools thought to have been made by Neanderthal hunters. Based on these finds and the methods of archaeological dating available at the time, researchers concluded in the 1960s that Jebel Irhoud’s inhabitants were African Neanderthals who roamed the region 40,000 years ago.

Flash forward to 2017. In two papers published today in the journal Nature, paleoanthropologist Jean-Jacques Hublin of Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany and his colleagues report that bones from Jebel Irhoud date to around 300,000 years ago, and shed new light on the origins of our species, Homo sapiens. The human occupation at the site, says Hublin, coincides with the beginning of the Middle Stone Age, and may extend the story of our H. sapiens ancestors by 100,000 years. Jebel Irhoud’s humans, he adds, are “the oldest Homo sapiens ever found in Africa or elsewhere.”"
