According to AFP News Agency, a 210,000-year-old skull found in Greece has been identified as the oldest human remains outside of Africa. The skull is one of two that were discovered in a Greek cave in the 1970s, AFP reports. Scientists were able to use computer modelling and uranium dating to re-examine the two skulls recently.

Until now, Homo sapiens were thought to have first arrived in Europe only around 50,000 years ago. However, this discovery may push back the date of human arrival in Europe, and change the way we understand the development and migrations of the human species. For the full story, visit AFP news.
