From Wikipedia

Qesem Cave (Hebrew: מערת קסם) is a Lower Paleolithic archaeological site near the city of Kafr Qasim in Israel. The site was occupied by early humans from about 400,000 to about 200,000 years ago. The karstic cave attracted considerable attention in December 2010, when reports suggested Israeli and Spanish archaeologists had found the earliest evidence yet of modern humans. Science bloggers pointed out that the media coverage had inaccurately reflected the scientific report. Selective large-game hunting was regularly done followed by butchery of desired carcass parts for transport back to a residence for food sharing and cooking. The cave was found in October 2000 during road construction. Its deposits contain stone tools and animal remains from the Acheulo-Yabrudian complex.
