An article in The Age [theage.com.au] reports on a find that could up-end much of what we believe on the origin of humans.

Africa has always been considered the cradle of mankind, where humans evolved from apes on the continent before spreading to the rest of the world.

An intriguing find is challenging the long-standing assumption.

The partial skull of a new ancient ape has been discovered in Turkey, and it appears to predate African apes, suggesting that human origins may actually lie in Europe.
