Anthropologists around the world have managed to uncover new human species over the years and keep pushing back the age of the earliest member of our species. Most of the scientists considered Homo sapiens as the first member of our species which evolved in East Africa approximately 200,000 years ago. However, the discovery of a 210,000-year-old skull in Greece has changed the theory of human evolution and migration from the African continent. A human jawbone found in Israel measured 177,000 years old pushed the migration theory even further back and confirmed that Homo sapiens left Africa far earlier than 60,000 years ago. As the researchers make more of these discoveries, the theory of human evolution is getting more complicated.
