The oldest human skeletal remains are the 40ky old Lake Mungo remains in New South Wales, but human ornaments discovered at Devil's Lair in Western Australia have been dated to 48 kya and artifacts at Madjedbebe in Northern Territory are dated to at least 50 kya, and to 62.1 ± 2.9 ka in one 2017 study.

Eve of Naharon (Spanish: Eva de Naharon) is the skeleton of a 20– to 25-year-old human female found in the Naharon section of the underwater cave Sistema Naranjal in Mexico [2] near the town of Tulum, around 80 miles (130 km) south west of Cancún. [3] The Naranjal subsystem is a part of the larger Sistema Ox Bel Ha. [4]
The skeletal remains were first discovered in the castle's well during restoration work in 1938, though researchers at the time could only conduct a visual examination due the start of World War II.
The oldest skeletal remains unearthed from Fa Hien Cave were that of a child with an associated radiocarbon dating of 30,000 BP. [11] Caves in Batadomba lena, 460 m above sea level in the foothills of Sri Pada (Adam's Peak), have also yielded several important ancient remains.
Ardi (ARA-VP-6/500) is the designation of the fossilized skeletal remains of an Ardipithecus ramidus, thought to be an early human-like female anthropoid 4.4 million years old. It is the most complete early hominid specimen, with most of the skull, teeth, pelvis, hands and feet, [ 1 ] more complete than the previously known Australopithecus ...
The Tepexpan Man is a Pre-Columbian-era skeleton, discovered by archaeologist Helmut de Terra in February 1947, on the shores of the former Lake Texcoco in central Mexico. [1] The skeleton was found near mammoth remains and thought to be at least 10,000 years old. [ 2 ]
The remains were originally dated to the Late Pleistocene, to at least 68,000 years ago, but more likely, to approximately 111-139 bp. High rates of variability yielded by various dating techniques carried out by different researchers place the most widely accepted range of dates with 68,000 BP as a minimum, but did not rule out dates as old as ...
