Out Of Africa
Before this study, the oldest evidence of the presence of humans outside Africa came from the archaeological sites of Skhul and Qafzeh, also in Israel, which is estimated to be between 90,000 and 125,000 years old.
"This is an exciting discovery that confirms other suggestions of an earlier migration out of Africa", added paleoanthropologist Rolf Quam of Binghamton University in NY, a co-author of the study published in the journal Science.
In other words, the Misliya jawbone proves that humans may have emerged from Africa between 57,000 and 104,000 years before they were believed to.
A almost 200,000-year-old piece of fossilized human remains has been discovered in Israel, upending theories of when humans first emerged from Africa, as the sample is tens or even hundreds of thousands of years older than any previously discovered human remains outside of Africa.
Hershkovitz said he believes Homo sapiens may have originated some 500,000 years ago.
An global research team has discovered the earliest modern human fossil outside of Africa, possibly rewriting the believed timeline of human migration.
In a collapsed cave on the western slope of Mount Carmel in Israel, researchers have found the jawbone of an ancient human who may have been one of the first modern members of our species to leave Africa.

India is also a major source of worldwide tourists for Canada , with 215,000 Indians visiting in 2016. PM Modi at the trade summit was quoted saying that "Our trade has grown 25 times in 25 years".
The discovery also has played into the ongoing debate as to what route early humans used to exit Africa.
The remains of Misliya were found in a layer of earth in which there were also stone tools belonging to the Levallois type, which were used in the region between 250,000 and 140,000 years ago.
Until recently, the oldest evidence of excursions outside that continent was limited to the Levante area. If the researchers' dates of 177,000 to 194,000 years for the jaw and tools hold up, it means that modern humans left Africa 40,000 years earlier than expected.
Last year, a group of researchers published evidence from Neanderthal remains in Germany of crosses that occurred between 219,000 and 460,000 years ago. And this discovery has added a new and unexpected twist. He said - "we are like a train station that everyone is passing through".
The bones date to between 174,000 and 188,000 years old, said the report in Thursday's edition of the United States journal Science.
The latest Human fossil discovered will definitely change so many theories now and will lead scientist to do a better research on evolution of Homo sapiens. Most DNA studies have failed to find evidence in our genes of these older migrations.
Older fossils of modern humans have been found in Africa, including some with similar facial characteristics excavated from the Ethiopian sites of Omo Kibish and Herto, dating to around 195,000 and 160,000 years old.
