Okinawa's Trove Of Ancient Bones May Point To Migration Route
ISHIGAKI, JAPAN - JUNE 30: The Shiraho Saonetabaru Cave Ruins where ancient human remains were uncovered on June 30, 2016 in Ishigaki, Okinawa, Japan. The discovery in Okinawa Prefecture of the largest collection of human remains from the Stone Age may help unravel the mystery of migration to Japan from Southeast Asia, researchers say. The dozen or so human remains included a complete skeleton, which suggests the cave - now part of the Ishigaki Airport complex - was a burial site. Radiocarbon dating of the remains produced one result that suggested they are from 26,000 years ago, which would make them the oldest found in Japan. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
