The find has the potential to revise theories on early human evolution.

The discovery of ancient remains of Stone Age humans in Morocco has pushed back the date of the origin of our species by 100,000 years. An international team of scientists unearthed teeth, bones and skulls belonging to three Homo sapiens adults, a teenager and a child among animal bones and stone tools. Dating of the tools indicates the individuals were between 281,000 and 349,000 years old, the scientists report in two papers published in Nature today.
