The new research suggests that modern humans left Africa much earlier than previously thoughts.
Earlier discoveries in Israel led scientists to believe that humans started migrating from Africa between 90, — , years ago. The excavated upper jawbone consists of seven intact teeth and one broken incisor.

The Omo Kibish skullcaps are the reason why most scientists believed that early modern humans originated from East Africa. While they are no longer the oldest remains, the skullcaps help paint a more complete picture of early human history.
When the skulls were first discovered in scientists thought that they were no older than , years. This research was updated in and moved the skulls back to , years old. This suggests that there were Homo sapiens in the area that were less modern.

The first skull was discovered in by a miner, who gave it to an engineer as a souvenir. The engineer eventually turned the skull over to the University of Rabat and an official expedition to the site took place in Must have been nice to see New York without cars and cellphones.
