Archaeologists in Spain have unearthed the oldest human face in Western Europe. The civilization possibly predated Homo erectus 1.8 million years ago and has drastic implications in science.

The Ur 501 jawbone is considered the oldest known human fossil from the Homo genus, with an estimated age of between 2.5 and 2.3 million years.

The team did so for the first time in 1994, when they unearthed the remains of a new human species, which they named Homo antecessor, at the TD6 level of the Gran Dolina site.

"We have two different sites with very ancient human fossils ranging from 850,000 to more than 1,100,000 years old in a fairly small space of about 20 square kilometres," says the scientist.

Until now, the oldest-known human species in Western Europe was the Homo antecessor. Experts have found Homo antecessor remains that are around 850,000 years old.
