"Berkeley researchers have discovered the oldest-known skulls of modern humans, 160,000-year-old Ethiopian fossils from the dawn of humanity that strongly support the theory that modern humans evolved in Africa.
The three skulls -- two from an adult and one from a child --suggest that people very much like us were thriving on the shores of a now-vanished freshwater lake in Ethiopia, butchering hippopotamuses and scaling fish, at a time when Europe was suffering a severe ice age. Eventually, as their numbers grew, they left this idyllic region to populate the rest of the world."
