Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22320164 The skull discovered in the Annamite Mountains in northern Laos is the oldest modern human fossil found in Southeast Asia and is believed to be between 46,000 and 63,000 years old. The find also reveals that early humans did not simply follow the Asian coast as they migrated from Africa to Australia, as some researchers have argued, but that some also moved inland into unfamiliar terrain. “This fossil find indicates that the migration out of Africa and into East and Southeast Asia occurred at a relatively rapid rate, and that, once there, modern humans weren’t limited to environments that they had previously experienced,” said co-author Laura Shackelford, an anthropologist with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

We know that carbon dateing is a flawed science and isnt accurate at all, this was proven by many different sources, a 8 year old kid in Califonia fossilized a acorn and someone sent a piece in to get dated and they came up with some crazy number.
