Recently new fossils were discovered that could point us to believe that the origins of man did not derive from the East coast of Africa, but the Northwest Coast. These new fossils predate the earliest fossils known by 100,000 years. Scientists are using thermoluminescence detectors to figure how out how old the fossil is. "Human Evolution is like a puzzle", says Jean-Jacques Hublin. He right because there are many pieces to evolution that need to be fit together to see the big picture. This new discovery doesn't necessarily say that East Africa is the origins of human life, but to say that the origins of human life is much more complicated than we think it to be. This relates to our learning because we learned about Lucy who everyone thinks is the oldest evidence of a human being, butthis article tells us it may not be true.
