The first fossils of Homo sapiens are found across the African continent: Jebel Irhoud, Morocco (300,000 years old), Florisbad, South Africa (260,000 years old) and Omo Kibish, Ethiopia (195,000 years old). This indicates a complex evolutionary history of our species, possibly involving the entire African continent.
Named Omo I, the fossils were found in the 1960s, in the Omo Kibish Formation, Ethiopian part of the Rift Valley, in the eastern portion of the African continent. The region is an area of high volcanic activity and a rich source of early human remains, as well as artifacts such as stone tools.
With this information, we can conclude that The oldest fossils ever found of modern humans (Homo sapiens) are at least 233,000 years old.
