Hi RAZD,
​
Just a nit-pik point -- these are not the oldest human fossils but they (were) the oldest Homo sapiens fossils (at that time).
​
Fossils of Homo erectus are also considered "human" (Homo) and date older than these fossils.
​
If Homo erectus are human, then archaic Homo sapiens are too. I believe anything in the genus "Homo" is considered "man", or human.
