Fossils of five humans who lived at least 300,000 years ago have been discovered in Morocco – 100,000 years earlier than the earliest humans were thought to have lived. The skull form of these new fossils is almost identical to modern humans. The discovery suggests that humans evolved across Africa. The specimens, which include skulls, teeth, and long bones were found at Jebel Irhoud, about 100km west of Marrakesh.
