New findings in the UAE, suggest human presence 100-125,000 years ago, much earlier than the original estimate of 60,000 years.

This is not very surprising. People would eventually spread in all directions from one central location. I mean the people that crossed from Siberia started in Alaska and spread all the way through North America in like 10,000 to 15,000 years. People are finding all types of new routes humans took. Some people are now theorizing that pacific islanders made it to South America. So it makes sense that they went to Arabia too. Of course they would have no idea crossing a stream meant they were leaving Africa.

Human haven't left Africa they are still there. Next question please.

 

[jakobeast]

I have a sneaking suspicion that a version of 'man' lived on this planet somewhere long before 125,000 years ago. The planet could be several billion years old for all we know. 125K is not even a drop in the bucket.

Did you see that discovery special awhile back "Walking with Cave men" I think it was hosted by Alec Baldwin. It was like the walking with dinosaurs special only it followed human evolution from all the different homonid species.

And yet you and I get outcast here for filling our heads with ideas and knowledge and then trying to share that information with other people. Funny that most of the people complaining refuse to do any of their own 'homework' to become a little more informed about both sides of the argument...



[is this considered trolling]???





Let me add this then, while it is a sci-fi and prime time tv entity right now I really like the direction that Fringe is taking with the notion of the 'First Peoples'. This is part of the current story line where one can assume we will eventually find out that there was in fact other human civilizations on earth much earlier than the current one.
