[Doc]

Rewriting the history books seem to a daily occurrence lately, confirming our reason for being here at The OutPost Forum if nothing else. Most of what thye have been telling us about everything is turning out to be not exactly right:

This should come as no surprise to this forum but still it's jaw dropping.

The caves of the Sierra de Atapuerca contain a rich fossil record of the earliest hominins in Europe starting nearly one million years ago. They represent an exceptional reserve of data, the scientific study of which provides priceless information about the appearance and the way of life of these remote human ancestors.
One of the problematic issues of the Atapuerca sites is the dating of the strata where the fossils are found. The most conspicuous hominin findings of the 1994 and 1995 field seasons include a partial face of a juvenile individual, ATD6-69, and a mandibular fragment of a juvenile individual, ATD6-5, together with a set of isolated teeth of the same individual, that constitutes the holotype of the species Homo antecessor.
A study published by the Journal of Archaeological Science has now clarified that the sediment of Gran Dolina, where the first remains of Homo antecessor were discovered, is around 900,000 years old. It was previously dated to around 780,000 years ago, and made public in the journal Nature in 1995.
