The fossils show that by about 300,000 years ago, important changes in our biology and behavior had taken place across most of Africa. In this lecture, Leakey Foundation grantee Shara Bailey discusses her comprehensive study of the Hebel Irhoud cranial and dental remains. She also shares how these fossils are reshaping our understanding of how we evolved. “Rewriting Modern Human Origins” was presented at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on 11/8/2017 as part of The Leakey Foundation’s Speaker Series program in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
