Oldest Modern Humans Found

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the no-not-grandma dept.

DrLudicrous writes "Anthropologists have reconstructed and dated three skulls from Ethiopia that they believe to be the oldest anatomically modern human skulls in existance. They date to 160,000 years ago, in agreement with genetic studies that pin the arrival of modern humans to at least 150,000 years ago. The skulls also demonstrate evidence of ritual burial." UC Berkeley has the original release as well.

    Christianity is wrong. I do, however, strongly oppose the idea that the bible is inerrant.

    Christianity is not wrong, you monster.

    Thank you. To what aims, I do not know, but it is nice to be appreciated.
