ALL MODERN HUMANS CAME FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/07/070718140829.htm This is now 10 years old. Of course, you're a total fucking fraud so of course you don't know anything about it. Through the Sahara, idiot. Homo Sapiens was in Morocco 300,000 years ago Homo Sapiens didn't EXIST 300,000 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens#Origin We evolved into our present state 200,000 years ago. Of course, I can't speak for how it happened in your parallel reality. These Early Humans Lived 300,000 Years Ago—But Had Modern Faces Some modern human traits evolved earlier, and across wider swaths of Africa, than once thought. On a tree-speckled savanna in what’s now Morocco, a group of early humans once huddled near a fire, their stone tools scattered around their campsite. Now, examinations of fire-baked tools from the site suggest that these ancient people lived more than 300,000 years ago, making them twice as old as previously thought. The findings, announced in Nature on Wednesday, fill a crucial gap in the human fossil record. That’s because these people bear many striking similarities to modern humans even though they lived well before what may be the oldest fossil evidence of Homo sapiens, from a site in Ethiopia dated to about 195,000 years ago. The residents of the Moroccan site weren’t quite the Homo sapiens of today; their skulls were less rounded and more elongated than ours, perhaps signaling differences between our brains and theirs. However, their teeth closely resemble those in the mouths of modern humans—and their faces looked just like ours. “The face is the face of somebody you could cross in the metro,” says Jean-Jacques Hublin, the paleoanthropologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology who led the new research. “It’s pretty amazing.” What’s more, the Moroccan site is in northwest Africa, far from the sites in East and South Africa that have yielded many of Africa’s other hominin fossils. To paleoanthropologists, the combination of this site’s age and location serve as a powerful reminder that the evolution of modern humans was likely more ancient, and more dispersed across Africa, than previous discoveries suggested. “I think it was inevitable that there would be discoveries of evidence of modern humans in other parts of Africa, and it’s also inevitable that the dates are liable to be pushed back,” says George Washington University paleoanthropologist Bernard Wood, who wasn’t involved with the study. The fossils and tools found in Morocco therefore send an important reminder about our understanding of the human journey, he says: “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” More
