Oldoway Man

The beds of Oldovai Gorge

The Oldoway Man was a skeleton found in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, in 1913. Found inside concreted sediments by professor Hans Reck, it was thought to be nearly 700,000 years old, which would have pushed the arrival date of humans back by nearly 500,000 years. The site was later found to be an ancient grave.
