Earliest fossils of our species found in Morocco
New fossils from Morocco push the evidence back about 100000 years to roughly 300000 years ago. Researchers including Hublin of the Max Planck Institute describe bones and tools showing early Homo sapiens with a mix of modern and primitive traits at a cave near Safi. The find suggests Africa hosted early modern humans in multiple regions, with genes and ideas flowing across populations.
