Child’s grave is the oldest human burial found in Africa Jamie Shreeve © Photograph by María Martinón-Torres, National Research Center on Human Evolution (CENIEH) After months of painstaking cleaning of the remains in the lab, scientists uncovered the child s skull. This view shows the left side with the jawbone intact including two unerupted teeth with unformed roots. The teeth dates the child to 2.5-3 years of age. The deliberate burial of the young child, named ‘Mtoto’ (‘child’ in Swahili), dated to around 78,000 years ago, in a cave in Kenya is the earliest known evidence of funerary internment by modern humans in Africa.

Oldest human burial in Kenya -- Secret History -- Sott net

A new study featured on the 6 May cover of Nature by an international team of researchers details the earliest modern human burial in Africa. The remains of a 2.5 to 3 year-old child were found in a flexed position, deliberately buried in a shallow grave directly under the sheltered overhang of the cave. The interment at Panga ya Saidi joins increasing evidence of early complex social behaviours in Homo sapiens. © Mohammad Javad Shoaee General view of the cave site of Panga ya Saidi. Note trench excavation where burial was unearthed.Despite being home to the earliest signs of modern human behaviour, early evidence of burials in Africa are scarce and often ambiguous. Therefore, little is known about the origin and development of mortuary practices in the continent of our species birth. A child buried at the mouth of the Panga ya Saidi cave site 78,000 years ago is changing that, revealing how Middle Stone Age populations interacted with the dead.
