Theory Briefing

  • A 1.5-million-year-old vertebra unearthed in modern-day Israel is challenging the established timeline of when human relatives first left Africa.
  • The fossil predates key milestones in the Out of Africa model, raising questions about how many migration waves occurred and how early they began.
  • A single bone fragment is now at the center of a debate over whether early human dispersal was a gradual, repeated process rather than one pivotal exodus.
