Oldest Human Ancestor Found 
Scientists in Spain said a fossilized jawbone and a number of teeth unearthed in a cave in Spain proved that humans lived in Europe much earlier than previously believed, media reported on Thursday, March 27, 2008. An article in the journal Nature said the fossils found last year were more than 1 million years old. Until the last decade, there was no evidence that humans settled in Europe until about 500,000 years ago.
