Fossils: The earliest modern humans in Europe
Reanalysis of a human jawbone discovered in the UK and two teeth from an Italian site suggests that these fossils, described in Nature by two independent groups, represent the earliest physical evidence for anatomically modern humans in Europe. The fossils demonstrate the rapid dispersal of early modern humans across Europe well before 40,000 years ago.
