Disappointing finding: the 20,000-year fossil found in Japan is not what was thought

For decades, the so-called fossils of "Ushikawa Man" were considered among the oldest human remains in Japan, with an estimated 20,000 years old.This discovery, made in the 1950s in Toyohashi, was a pillar in Japanese archaeological history.However, new research has revealed that these remains do not belong to an ancient human.This unexpected turn puts into perspective the importance of continuous analysis in science.
