Morocco Fossils Are 100,000 Years Older Than Earliest Recorded Modern Humans Paleoanthropologists carefully excavate the remains of five ancient individuals, discovered in what was once a large cave. The cave at what's now known as the Jebel Irhoud site in Morocco became buried, over the eons, under layers of rock and sediment. Shannon McPherron/Nature hide caption toggle caption Shannon McPherron/Nature Paleoanthropologists carefully excavate the remains of five ancient individuals, discovered in what was once a large cave. A team of European and Moroccan scientists has found the fossil remains of five individuals who they believe are the most ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens) ever found. In a remote area of Morocco called Jebel Irhoud, in what was once a cave, the team found a skull, bones and teeth of five individuals who lived about 315,000 years ago. The researchers' claim is controversial, however, because anthropologists are still debating exactly what physical features distinguish modern humans from our more primitive ancestors.
