The Oldest Homo sapiens. Feb. 16, 2005 â When the bones of two early humans were found in 1967 near Kibish, Ethiopia, they were thought to be 130,000 years old.A few years ago, researchers found 154,000- to 160,000-year-old human bones at Herto, Ethiopia.Now, a new study of the 1967 fossil site indicates the earliest known members of our species, Homo sapiens, roamed Africa about 195,000 years ago.hese rock beds likely were deposited by annual flooding on the ancient Omo River. Beds below those shown here yielded the oldest fossils of humans (Homo sapiens) ever found. They date to 195,000 years ago.
