Oldest evidence of human activity unearthed in African cave: A team of Canadian and Israeli #researchers have unearthed the earliest evidence of #human occupation in a #cave, dating back about two million years until nearly modern times. A large cave nestled in South Africa’s #KalahariDesert might be the first on #Earth to have housed human activity, providing a fascinating look into human evolution while simultaneously raising more questions to answer. By analyzing layers of soil in the #WonderwerkCave, the researchers found some of the earliest evidence of fire use and the shift in tool-making capabilities, explained Liora Kolska Horwitz, researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s (HU) Natural History Collection and co-director of the Wonderwerk Cave expedition that has spanned over 15 years. “What we have here in the cave are milestones of these very dramatic events in human evolution,” she said. “I can’t think of any other site I know of, certainly not in #SubSaharanAfrica, that has a complete sequence of two million years of human occupation.” https://lnkd.in/g8jeKSy #SouthAfrica 🇿🇦 is an #AfCFTA member country #ThisIsAfrica #Africa #History #InvestInAfrica #HumanRace #OneWorld #BeterAfricaBetterWorld #Investment #afcftatrading (at Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/COKhc7JDXCj/?igshid=i8x9lc0oup17
