Scientists have found a revolutionary discovery buried under the sea near Indonesia that might completely rethink human beginnings.
Found under layers of silt and sand in the Madura Strait between the islands of Java and Madura, the skull of Homo erectus, an ancient human ancestor, was unearthed more than 140,000 years after it was first buried.
Experts believe the location, a prehistoric continent called Sundaland that formerly linked Southeast Asia in a large tropical plain, might be the first physical proof of the lost world.
Apart from the cranial bones, scientists unearthed 6,000 animal fossils of 36 species, including those of Komodo dragons, buffalos, deer, and elephant.
Certain of these had intentional cut marks, evidence of early humans using sophisticated hunting techniques.
