The skull, found in a cave in the Annamite mountains, has been dated to between 46,000 and 63,000 years old - and appears to be the remains of an anatomically modern human being. The discovery suggests that the first modern humans to leave Africa spread around the world much earlier than was previously thought.

indicates that ancient humans out of Africa left the coast and inhabited diverse habitats much earlier than previously
appreciated. The scientists, who found the skull in 2009, were likely the first to dig for ancient bones in Laos since the early 1900s, when a team found 16,000-year-old skulls and skeletons of several modern humans in another cave in the Annamite
Mountains.Producer/Author John Shanks URL www.sci-news.com/othersciences/anthropology/article00538.html Persons KE Westaway
