Jebel Irhoud

Jebel Irhoud is an archaeological site located just north of the locality known as Tlet Ighoud, approximately 50 km south-east of the city of Safi in Morocco. It is noted for the hominin fossils that have been found there since the discovery of the site in 1960. Originally thought to be Neanderthals, the specimens have since been assigned to Homo sapiens or Homo helmei and, as reported in 2017, have been dated to roughly 300,000 years ago. ()
