Ancient Stone Tool Find Suggests Mystery Human Species : Discovery News:
Ancient stone tools from an archaeological site on Sulawesi have pushed back the date of the earliest human occupation of the Indonesian island to at least 118,000 years ago.
The discovery, published today in Nature, overturns the view that humans first entered the island between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago as Homo sapiens dispersed out of Africa on the way to Australia.
Instead the finding suggests an ancient human species inhabited the island well before Homo sapiens arrived.
