Researchers have uncovered the oldest known fossils of Homo sapiens along with stone tools and animal bones in Morocco. The fossils dating back about three lakh years push back the earliest evidence of human existence by one lakh years, confirming African origins of the species, said researchers. The findings comprise skulls, teeth and long bones of at least five individuals.
