New geological datings place the first European hominids in the south of the Iberian Peninsula 1.3 million years ago

Recent geological dating at the Orce sites in the Baza basin, Granada, Spain, indicates that the human remains discovered there are the oldest in Europe

One of the major debates regarding human evolution and migration concerns the timing and path taken by the first hominids to reach Europe from Africa

The recent study supports the theory that humans entered Europe via the southern Iberian Peninsula through the Strait of Gibraltar, rather than taking the Mediterranean route through Asia

The new dating was based on the paleomagnetism analysis of an area in Orce that had not been previously sampled and was protected from erosion
