DNA recovered from bones discovered in 8-meter-deep cave dirt is shaking up what we know about some of the earliest modern humans.
The structures are considered to be one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth, according to NASA, representing the earliest fossil evidence for life on our planet from at least 3½ billion years ago.
