Re: Britannia Sacked.

There was an article in the National Geographic
Human Fossil Adds Fuel to Evolution Debate
an extract-
Java man" of Indonesia, for instance, was originally placed in the 500,000-year-old range
New technology has allowed for more precise dating of fossils, and recent reassessments put the age of Java man at about 1.5 million years old, contemporaneous with other fossil finds in Africa. The age of fossils found in China has similarly been revised upward.


The use of the word 'contemporous' indicates that there was development on both continents at the same time - so they dont know which was first now
