flag Fossils in Morocco, dated to 773,000 years ago, reveal a key human ancestor linking modern humans to Neanderthals and Denisovans, supporting a complex African origin.

flag Fossils discovered in a Moroccan cave near Casablanca, dated to about 773,000 years ago, provide some of the earliest evidence of a human lineage leading to Homo sapiens. flag The remains, including jawbones, teeth, vertebrae, and a femur, exhibit a mix of primitive and advanced traits, suggesting they represent a transitional population near the split between modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans. flag Precise dating using Earth’s magnetic field reversal confirms their age, placing them in a critical period of human evolution. flag The findings support a complex, Africa-wide origin for our species, challenging earlier theories of a single regional emergence and highlighting North Africa’s key role in human ancestry.
