A human skull roughly dating back 80,000 to 100,000 years brings controversy and new clues to man kinds orgins. Maybe giving us insight on how we all came to be.
The skull was found in pieces within the central province of Henan.
Chinese government claims the skull to be the greatest discovery after the Peking Man and that the fossil is a modern human. If this is the case, then this would re-write what has publicly been made aware of on Discovery, NG, and other science channels. Current theories are that our ancestors came from Africa and traveled throughout the globe making mankind what we are today.
Of course experts discredit any new finds because it makes their old theories void. They are saying that the skull most likely belongs to a sister or precursor species to modern humans.

Wow, that is very interesting. I wonder effects this discovery will have.
Yes I know. Of course I'm sure nothing will be made completely public. Scientist don't like getting humiliated when something contradicts what they previously discovered.
There's a story about a woman archaeologist who discovered a city that carbon dated to 200,000 yrs ago. Facts stated this to be true, but she was told to basically go home and forget what she had discovered. The city dated too far back and didn't comply with religion and what scientist have been enforcing for years. Needless to say that was the end of her career, she couldn't get a job after that.
I will find the story and post it in the near fututre.
