Ancient people came to China 100,000 years ago



It is possible that our ancestors began their trek out of Africa much earlier than scientists assume.

The most common point of view States: Homo sapiens evolved in Africa 200 thousand years ago and about 60,000 years ago, through the middle East spread around the world. Scientists Christopher Bae (University of Hawaii) and Wei Wang from China have described two teeth found in the cave Luna, near Guangxi (China). According to the results of the analysis of these teeth, the team argue that, at least, one of them belonged to an early Homo sapiens.

Calcite crystals, formed from water flows over ancient artifacts on the cave floor, date from between the 70,000 and 125,000 years ago. Scientists claim that this evidence of early man in this region.

Finding supports other fossils. So, the bones found in Israel, have an age of 150 thousand years. The experts participating in the identification of bone fragments are evidence of belonging to the ancestors of modern man.

Genetics also suggest an earlier Exodus of ancient humans from Africa. German expert Katerina Harvati (tübingen University) and colleagues studied the genomes of South-East Asia, the migration model. They found that genetic data better explain the early exit of a person from the African continent, about 130 000 years ago, according to our approximate route along the Arabian Peninsula, India to Australia, and then via the normal route.
