Old finger fossil discovered 85 thousand years

Intelligence details published in “magazine Ecology and Evolution”, while developing in the Al Wusta region of Saudi Arabia.

Researchers point out that the finger fossil found on the bed of a protected river may be the first man and that it is 85 thousand years old.

It is also known that if this is verified, the fossil will be the first remnant of a man who lived 85 thousand years ago on the Arabian Peninsula.

Julien Louys, paleontologist at Griffith University, drawing attention that the discovery shows that the man from 85 thousand to 90 thousand years ago lived in a region other than East Africa and the Mediterranean, shared the belief that man has migrated from here 60 thousand years ago.

The international research team also supports the Saudi Tourism and National Heritage Commission.
