I've been meaning to write this up in one place, and maybe this week would be a good time to do so.

I thought the news from Morocco was now well known, see here:

Homo sapiens and some other form of human were living in the Levant 200,000 years ago:

The reference to the skulls found on an island Greece, I'll need time to track that one down.

Fascinating, I was able to find some references to Greece around 200kya, but not much around the Levant.

Very neat, turns a lot of previous evidence on its head.
