NEW YORK — Scientists say they've identified the earliest sign of our species outside Africa, a chunk of skull recovered from a cave in southern Greece.
The fossil, from the rear of a skull, was actually found decades ago — excavated in the late 1970s from the Apidima Cave in the southern Peloponnese region of Greece and later kept in a University of Athens museum. Harvati said finding evidence that our species had reached Greece by that time was initially a surprise, though in hindsight"it's not that difficult to imagine that it would have happened."
Warren Sharp, an expert on dating fossils at the Berkeley Geochronology Center in California, said the age of 210,000 years is"not well supported by the data."
