Found 550,000-year-old human teeth
The ancient tooth was found by two archaeologists when excavating at Caune de L'Arago cave , Tautevel, east of the Pyrenees national park.

Archaeologists believe that this discovery is an important proof that humans soon arrived in Europe. The oldest human mark found in Europe is a piece of jaw bone , excavated in Germany in 1907, dating to 600,000 years old.
Earlier, archaeologists also found human bones in France aged 100,000 years. The place where the tooth is found is a famous archaeological site after the " Tautaviel Man" - the relic of a Homo Erectus race (erect erectus ) dating back to 450,000 years was discovered here. However, the tooth found this time was ' older' than Tautavel Man to 100,000 years old.
The researchers say this is an adult's tooth and the gender is unknown. The bodies of people with a life expectancy of between 500,000 and 800,000 years are becoming rare in Europe, and the tooth found fills a slight gap of 300,000 years.
The tooth was quite rotten, but researchers still hoped to rely on it to learn more about the identities of the first European residents.
