First evidence of humans outside of Africa

A team, led by Professor Zhaoyu Zhu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, found a series of stone tools from the early Pleistocene to Shangchen in the Chinese Loess Plateau.

PRIMITIVE HUMANS may have left Africa sooner than we thought, suggests a new discovery of ancient artifacts.The migration has long told us that we had left Africa for the first time there are 1.85 million of 39, years.

According to this theory, this ancient ancestor left Africa to settle in Asia, where he gave birth to Homo erectus .

"This discovery implies that hominids left Africa earlier than suggested by of Dmanisi ", write the authors in their article, published today in the journal Nature

. a strong case for the interpretation of researchers and the dating of these stone tools, the scientists said. The tools date back nearly a million years, which means that at that time ancient humans have already traveled to other parts of the Earth. The magnetic reversal that occurred between the two 1.26 and 2.12 million years ago, revealed in stone, discovered in Sanine, the article said.

The tools were discovered in the region called Shangcheng in the South China loess plateau.

The launching pad from the beginning of the space program was demolished
The two towers of Space Launch Complex 17 at Canaveral were demolished by controlled explosions at 7am. launches throughout several decades.

All artifacts show signs of use. The artifact here is a stone from which three flakes have been removed. Many of them were made of quartz and quartzite that would come from the nearby mountains of Qinling. The age of the tools "suggests that the hominids that made them were neither large nor large brains"

Archaeologists found eighty stone artifacts.

Some 80 artifacts have been found in fossil soils that have developed in a hot, humid atmosphere. climate. Sixteen layers of loess were found in colder, drier conditions. Here for three million years have formed the giant deposits of loess compacted sand and clay, shot down by the waters of the Yellow River. Therefore, we now believe that ancient humans occupied the Chinese shelf Loess between 1.2 and 2.12 million years ago.

"Our discovery means that we now have to reconsider the moment when the first humans left Africa," said Professor Robin Dennell of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. Uni, who participated in the study.

Researchers know that they will have to continue their study and discover the route that primitive humans took and how fast they traveled

These early hominids eventually left Africa for their first time. to settle in unknown territories, possibly to populate the planet, noted Kappelman in a commentary that accompanied the study
