Scruffy-looking woman wrapped in a lot of ragged pelts whittling on a sapling she is holding.

Artifacts dug up in southern Greece may be the oldest wooden tools ever discovered. They bear signs of shaping by #earlyhumans in the #Pleistocene. They suggest our species used wooden tools 40,000 years earlier than previously demonstrated.

Staggering Finds Show Early Humans Lived Alongside the Very Apes They Evolved from From Ethiopia comes an incredible discovery—early humans seem to have potentially lived alongside the very apes they evolved from. The discovery centers around teeth: that of a member of the genus Homo, of which we are a part, found next to the tooth of Australopithecus, the last in a line of apes that became humans. The […] The post Staggering Finds Show Early Humans Lived Alongside the Very Apes They Evolved from appeared first on Good News Network.

Before Homo habilis came to the party, the tools were already waiting. 🪨
While often credited as the first toolmaker, evidence hints stone tools may predate H. habilis—suggesting even earlier hands were striking stone.

Mounds Before Kings How Ancient Burials in the Andes Challenge the Origins of Monumental Architecture

New dating for White Sands footprints confirms controversial theory Results are consistent with two earlier studies dating the footprints to between 22,000 and 24,000 years ago.

The discovery of 23,000-year-old footprints in New Mexico is rewriting history, suggesting humans arrived in the Americas far earlier than we thought. But without artifacts, it's a mystery how they lived. #Archaeology #EarlyHumans
