History with Kayleigh | Homo Sapiens Left Africa 86,000 Years Ago?! @HistoryWithKayleigh | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
It’s been known that Homo sapiens left the continent of Africa around 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, which contributed to our current gene pool.
But, could there have been an earlier out of Africa migration by Homo sapiens, our species?
Let's look at the latest discovery from Laos, where archaeologists have found 2 fossils in the Tam Pa Ling cave in Northeastern Laos.
