Until now, scientists have no common opinion about the place of origin of modern humans.
Some think that the genus Homo first appeared about 2.4 to 1.9 million years ago on the territory of the current Avash National Park in Ethiopia, others think that it is in the Olduvai Gorge in South Africa.
The excavations of Mohamed Sahnnuni of the National Center for the Study of Human Evolution in Burgos (Spain) and his colleagues from
In subsequent excavations, scientists discovered some "Olduvai" tools.
The study showed that the age of both sets of tools is about 2.4 and 1.9 million years old. This suggests that the carriers of Olduvai's "technologies" appeared on the territory of North Africa, thousands of kilometers from this gorge immediately after the appearance of the genus Homo.
According to Sakhnuni, this indicates that the ancient ancestors and Homo sapiens themselves appeared during the course of "continental" evolution.
"It seems that our ancestors have not only settled in East Africa after the appearance of the genus Homo, but also on the whole continent, including its northern regions. We can say that all conflicts over the position of the "cradle of humanity" do not make sense – the entire continent was the ancestral home of our species, "added the scientist.
On November 13, it was reported that scientists had discovered the cause of the death of the first civilization of the Earth.
