Theory Briefing

  • A 1.5-million-year-old vertebra unearthed in Israel suggests human relatives reached the Levant far earlier than mainstream models assumed.
  • The find challenges the classic single-wave Out of Africa theory, pointing instead to multiple or much earlier dispersal events.
  • Paleoanthropologists must now reconcile this fossil with the genetic and archaeological record that underpins human migration science.
