Yes, the pit culture is an archaeological culture from the Late Copper Age – Early Bronze Age. He occupied lands from the southern Urals in the east to the Dniester in the west, from Transcaucasia in the south to the middle Volga region in the north.

An unusual way of measuring time

The Yamna culture was mostly nomadic pastoral, with elements of hoe farming near rivers and on some hills. As scientists learned, representatives of this culture used horses not only for plowing.

Experts examined 150 skeletons from 39 tombs dating back to 4300 BC, and found many of them with deformations typical of horseback riding.

There were also compression marks at the attachment points of the pelvic and femoral muscles, indentations in the femoral head, eroded vertebrae, and injuries associated with falls, kicks, or horse bites.

Like this, Humanity learned to ride horses much earlier.

Chinese scientists find fossils of first skeletal animals

Fossils more than 500 million years old have been found in China that preserve soft tissues, intestines and oral apparatus. A unique find has revealed what the first animals with skeletons looked like.

So, the new 514-million-year-old fossil find is four specimens of Gangtoucunia aspera with intact soft tissues, including the gut and mouth apparatus. As the researchers explain, this species had a mouth around which straight, unbranched tentacles grew about 5 millimeters long.
