Archaeologists discovered a 55,000-year-old human skull in the Manot cave, which is the earliest fossilized evidence of an anatomically modern human skull outside Africa, and sheds light on human evolution, proving that modern humans migrated from Africa to the rest of the world, through the Middle East.
