Skull discovered in a cave in Southern Greece has been identified as Homo sapiens.
A human skull discovered in a Greek cave has been found to date back 210,000 years—over 150,000 years before humans are believed to have first settled in Europe. The discovery suggests Homo Sapiens migrated out of Africa on multiple occasions before conquering the world.
There are known to have been many waves of migration out of Africa over our history, starting from around 270,000 years ago. However, the most significant and sustained move into Asia, Europe and the rest of the world is thought to have started between 80,000 and 60,000 years ago., a team of researchers showed evidence that modern humans had reached Europe far, far earlier.
One skull, known as Apidima 2, appeared to be a Neanderthal from its morphological features. CT scans confirmed this. Dating revealed it lived about 170,000 years ago. Modern human migration out of Africa is a complicated picture—and one that is becoming more complicated the bigger the fossil record gets. In 2017, scientists announced the discovery ofthat dated back 300,000 years. This is far from the 'cradle of humanity' where it was thought our species first evolved, in southern and East Africa.
