Researchers found a skull in Greece, which is the earliest example of a modern human outside Africa, dates back to 210,000 years ago, at a time when Europe was occupied by the Neanderthals. This discovery adds to evidence of an earlier migration of people from Africa that left no trace in the DNA of people alive today. They found 2 skulls-one is distorted & other is incomplete; the more complete one looks like Neanderthal.
