Last year, a genetic analysis of bone fragments representing our earliest known presence in Europe raised a few questions over the steps modern humans took to conquer every corner of the modern world.
The scattering of human bones and stone implements sifted from the sediment of Bacho Kiro Cave in central Bulgaria is just the kind of evidence archaeologists dream of. Uncovered in 2015, they have since been dated to around 45,000 years, officially making them the oldest Upper Paleolithic hominin bones ever found in Europe.
The genetic evidence preserved in three of those bodies, however, doesn't match up quite so neatly with this simple scenario."more closely related to present-day and ancient populations in East Asia and the Americas than to later west Eurasian populations.
According to the authors of this newest study, one possibility considers the migration of humanity a stutter rather than a surge.
