Barranco León is an archaeological site in Orce, Andalusia, Spain with an age range between 1.2 and 1.4 million of years. It is noted for having yielded evidence of hominin occupation, including the milk tooth of a boy or girl of 10 years. After the tooth had been dated, its original owner (the "child of Orce") was hailed as having left the earliest anatomical evidence for humans in Western Europe. Read more on Wikipedia
