Oldest Human Fossil Outside of Africa Discovered, With Tools Nearby (6 of 11)

Caption

Virtual reconstruction of the left upper jaw of Misliya-1. The right (transparent) side is a mirror image of the preserved left side for visualization purposes. The dental arch is parabolic and the alignment of the anterior teeth appears very modern human like. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jan. 26, 2018 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by I. Hershkovitz at Tel Aviv University in Tel Aviv, Israel, and colleagues was titled, "The earliest modern humans outside Africa."
