Java fossil upends view of human origins in Asia
Java fossil dated at 18 million years marks oldest hominid remains found outside Africa, suggesting Homo erectus inhabited Asia far earlier than thought. New dating places the Mojokerto child skull around age 1.0 million years, challenging the idea that Africa was the sole cradle and that tool invention drove out-migration.
