Big news. Scientists found a tooth in Israel that may have belonged to an ancestor of modern humans, scientifically known as Homo sapiens. The accepted scientific theory is that Homo sapiens originated in Africa 200,000 years ago and migrated out of the continent. Scientists say that if this tooth is definitively linked to modern human's ancestors, it would mean that modern man in fact originated in what is now Israel 400,000 years ago, which would change the whole picture of evolution. Further research is needed to see if this pans out. Anyone out there want to be a archaeologist or paleontologist?
