In 2013, when I wrote this entry, these were the oldest fossil remains of anatomically modern humans, or anatomically modern Homo sapiens-individuals with the range of phenotypes of modern humans. These fossil bones, which include two partial skulls as well as arm, leg, foot and pelvis bones, are known as the Omo remains. Between 19 a scientific team from the Kenya National Museums directed by Richard Leakey and others discovered a collection of hominid bones at the Omo Kibish sites near the Omo River, in Omo National Park in south-western Eithiopia.
