The origin story for modern humans goes that Homo Sapiens evolved in Africa and then migrated out of the continent to the Asian continent in one heaving mass 60,000 years ago. From there, the world. But a new study has put a spanner in the works of the well-worn theory.

Published in the US science journal Science, researchers argue that modern humans are the result of multiple migrations out of Africa - some 120,000 years ago.

A review of all the literature as well as new fossils discovered in Asia over the past decade appears to support this theory.

Instead, Homo Sapiens reached parts of the Far East much earlier than first theorised, and have been found in a number of sites in southern and central China dating back to between 70,000 and 120,000 years ago.
