Just Announced! Discovery of Ancient Stone Tools on the Greek Island of Crete.  Dating is 700,000 years ago, possibly as old as 800,000 years.  It could be Homo erectus.  But the Greek research team including Archaeologist Superstar Katerina Harvati, believes the tools were made by very early Homo sapiens, or even more likely Homo antecessor.  

Paleoanthropologists and geneticists are now considering that Homo antecessor is the direct ancestor of modern Homo sapiens in Europe.  Denisovans and Neanderthals split off from Antecessor in a different direction.  

Antecessor as the direct ancestor of Europeans (Cro-Magnon, Solutreans, Gravettians...), would confirm Europeans and Africans are two entirely separate Subspecies.
