The discovery emphasizes the new approach of scientists calling for new research into how the human species came from Africa on the path of colonization of the world.
A common scientific team discovered the first sample of human remains in the northwest of Saudi Arabia. Researchers are from various Saudi organizations, the Max Planck Foundation for Human History, the Oxford University, the Cambridge University, the Australian National University, and the Australian State University of New South Wales.
Researchers said on Monday that the medium-sized middle-sized bone on the site called Al Wusta (the middle finger in Arabic) is the oldest fossil of homo sapienia outside Africa and its associated eastern Mediterranean Levant region, and the first fossil of the Arab peninsula.
Although the Nefud desert is now an infinite sandy area, it was hospitable when it was in its midst - a grassy area rich in animal and plant species along with a freshwater lake. The discovery also shows that people then moved the interior of the earth, not the shore.
Numerous animal fossils have also been discovered, including hay horses, wild cow antelopes and ostriches. Traces of barking on fossil remains suggest that the carnivores were there too. Stone tools used by hunters were also found (source: Xinhua).
