The history of humanity is full of great mysteries and… archaeological investigationsThey are crucial in ensuring that these mysteries are revealed one by one. In this context; Excavations conducted in Zambia, located in southern Africa, reveal approx 500 thousand years ago He dug up wooden tools. Scientists say this discovery will allow for a better understanding of human history.

It is believed that the first people adopted a nomadic lifestyle, lived in caves and were engaged in hunting. However, the discovery in Zambia showed that this situation exists can change it reveals. As a result of technical research, the wooden structure, which was allegedly built 476 thousand years ago, was used by people during the Stone Age period. shelters made sure this was taken into consideration.

Here is that wooden structure with a history of almost half a million years.

Prof. from the University of Liverpool, who had the opportunity to investigate the findings in Zambia as part of the Deep Roots of Humanity project. Larry Barham said the following about the wooden construction:

Another professor named Geoff Duller said the following about the wooden structure:

*The area where the ruins were found.

The investigations showed that the shorter of the two parts that make up the wooden structure is 1.5 meters It turned out about approx. Experts think that an important structure was built from such a long wooden material for the conditions of that time. According to estimates, people living half a million years ago built shelters near rivers for fishing They may have built the wooden structure in question.

The discovery in Zambia raises an important issue. In their studies so far, scientists have discovered that the oldest bone remaining for ‘Homo sapiens’, which we call modern humans, comes from 315 thousand years old They argue that this is so. So according to the data we have, modern man could not have built this wooden structure. It is precisely because of this that researchers will henceforth split in two directions. The research to be conducted will either reveal that the history of modern humans goes back much further, or prove that more primitive human species such as ‘Homo erectus’ or ‘Homo naledi’ are not actually that primitive. The answer to this question will be found in the region with bone remains will come to light.
