  • The accepted view is that Homo sapiens evolved in Africa 200,000 years ago and stayed there until 60,000 years ago, when they struck out through the Middle East and spread around the world. In July 2014, Christopher Bae of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Wet Wang of the Guangxi Museum of Nationalities in Nanning China, and their colleagues described two teeth from the Luna cave in China's Guangxi Zhuang region. Based on the proportions of the teeth, the team argue that at least one of them must have belonged to an early Homo sapiens.
