Reconstruction of the Face of the Oldest Known Human
The face of the oldest known human has been reconstructed for the first time, revealing a man described as 'strong and serene'. Fossils from the Jebel Irhoud site in Morocco proved that humans evolved 100,000 years earlier than thought. The discovery showed that Homo sapiens spread across the entire African continent around 300,000 years ago.
