TRIPOLI: Ancient human fossils found in a cave in northern Laos are revealing to scientists that early modern humans were quite physically diverse, and they reveal an earlier migration timeline in Southeast Asia than previously thought.
As reported in a study published in scientific journal PLOS One, a jawbone and skull which were excavated a few meters apart in a cave known as Tam Pa Ling in the Annamite Mountains are of roughly the same age, dating to between 46,000 and 63,000 years ago.
The skull was found in 2009 and is cited as the oldest modern human fossil ever found in Southeast Asia. Its discovery pushed back the timeline and spread of modern human migration to the region from Africa.
