Ancient skull is found in Europe

Archaeologists have found what they believe to be one of the oldest human skulls ever discovered in Europe.

The skull was unearthed on a site in Dmanisi in Georgia and is thought to be at least 1.8 million years old.

The latest find supports the idea that humans left Africa 500,000 years earlier that scientists first thought.

Experts are now hopeful that the well-preserved skull will help them find out more about the developments and movements of our ancestors.

Five bones in total have been discovered at the Georgian site, including a jawbone unearthed 14 years ago.

Ancient fossils of hominids - creatures related to modern humans - have been found in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, but it's unusual to find them in Europe.
