Lesson 1.2 - Out of Africa
There are fossils of many species of archaic humans that left Africa and found their way to other parts of the world. For example, Homo Erectus fossils can be found in Asia, and Neanderthal fossils can be found in Europe. We can find fossil evidence of early Homo Sapiens, like us, left Africa too. Today, DNA evidence is starting to provide further evidence that the Out of Africa theory may be correct
