Java Man
The general assumption is that hominins migrated out of the continent either across the southern end of the Red Sea or along the Nile Valley, but there are no fossil hominins known from either region in the Early Pleistocene. The earliest "Homo" fossils outside Africa are the Dmanisi skulls from Georgia (dated to 1.77–1.85 million years old, representing either early "H. ergaster" or a new taxon, "H. georgicus"), three incisors from Ubeidiya in Israel (about 1.4 to 1 million years old) and the fossils of Java Man ("H. erectus erectus", more than five thousand miles away). The dating of key Asian "H. erectus" specimens (including Java Man) is not entirely certain, but they are all likely to be 1.5 million years old or younger. Ubeidiya is also the oldest firmly confirmed site of Acheulean tools (one of the tool industries associated with "H. ergaster") outside Africa, the tools recovered there closely resembling older tools discovered in East Africa.
