Out of Africa: 90,000-Year-Old Human Finger Points to Much Earlier Migration

Researchers have directly dated the earliest-ever fossil from an anatomically modern human found outside of Africa and the Levant. This 90,000-year-old fossilized finger rewrites traditional theories of early migration, beating expectations by some 25,000 years. Homo sapiens, the team thinks, were exploring what was once the wet grassland of Saudi Arabia far earlier than previously thought. Humans may not have left Africa in one big wave, but in a series of trickles... Extensive testing at institutions around the world revealed not only was this the finger bone of a modern human, but it was also the oldest directly dated Homo sapiens fossil ever found outside of Africa and the Levant. Researchers dated the fossil between 85,000 and 90,000 years old, which is up to 25,000 years earlier than expected for this region. The Levant historically refers to countries along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean sea, including modern-day Israel, where a number of important ancient discoveries have been made. Earlier this year, for example, scientists estimated that a Homo sapiens jaw from the country was up to 200,000 years old -- the oldest ever discovered outside of Africa.

Eventually they will figure out what we can already surmise from statistics, that there are multiple human species currently living on this planet.

HA!!! More nonsense that will either be shown as a good-faith mistake or fraud. The earth is a go-zillion years old. But man as best confirmed by the age of recorded history, has been around no longer than about 6000 years.
Next.
