The Oldest Homo Sapiens: Fossils Push Human Emergence Back To 195,000
Years Ago*

When the bones of two early humans were found in 1967 near Kibish,
Ethiopia, they were thought to be 130,000 years old. A few years ago,
researchers found 154,000- to 160,000-year-old human bones at Herto,
Ethiopia. Now, a new study of the 1967 fossil site indicates the
earliest known members of our species, Homo sapiens, roamed Africa about
195,000 years ago.
