The discovery is likely to change archaeologists’ understanding of the evolution of early human technology

Researchers from the University of Liverpool and Aberystwyth University have discovered the oldest wooden structure created by human ancestors. Their groundbreaking find, published in the journal Nature, stems from excavations at the Kalambo Falls archaeological site in Zambia. It dates back at least 476,000 years, predating the emergence of our own species, Homo sapiens. Expert examination of stone tool cut-marks on the wood indicates that these early hominids skillfully shaped and joined two s

The discovery is likely to change archaeologists’ understanding of the evolution of early human technology

Research from the University of Liverpool and Aberystwyth University reveals humans were constructing wooden structures 476,000 years ago at Kalambo Falls, Zambia. This discovery, dated using advanced techniques, highlights the early human capability to settle and challenges previous notions about S

A study published Wednesday in the journal Nature claims researchers have uncovered the first known structural use of wood in human history.

Analysis of the wood suggests that it was deliberately shaped and joined together to form a structure, like a dwelling or a platform.
