Did Humans Arise In Morocco?
Michael Button talks about recent discoveries in Morocco that have pushed back the origins of human life at least another 100,000 years. These early humans, dubbed the Jebel Irhoud, existed more than 300,000 years ago, at a time when the Sahara Desert was a lush, expansive and green plains, enabling them to spread across much of Africa.
The discoveries have not only extended the human timeline, but also altered thinking about the origins of Homo sapiens. Previously, it was believed humanity first arose in the Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia in eastern Africa.
Button is a YouTuber whose videos explore mysteries in ancient history. Here, he appears on The Joe Rogan Experience.
The conversation covers a lot of ground, including the secrets of ancient temples, the discovery of the Dragon Man skull and even the Nazca lines in South America. In short, it’s vintage Rogan material.
