Cultivation culture: There were 100,000 years ago

A new study shows that the civilization of humanity began to develop 100 thousand years ago. This hypothesis, published in the journal "Science" (USA) issued on 22/6.

The hypothesis is based on evidence of shelled nuts, the oldest and unknown date, recently found in Israel and Angeria. This finding has changed the notion that shell nuts appear first in Europe.

Before this new discovery, the researchers suggested that the first signs of cultivating culture appeared 40,000 years ago when modern humans appeared on the old continent.

However, recent research by scientists at the National Center for Scientific Research in Talangxo (France) and University College London (UK) shows that shell nuts are used as jewelry, witnesses. The cultivating culture has appeared much earlier in North Africa and the Middle East.

Studying museum collections, researchers have discovered holes with holes from the Israeli Xkhun region and Oet Giebana in Angeria shaped like hard nuts dating to about 75,000. years ago, found in caves in South Africa.

Currently, these beads are used to make jewelry beads. One of the co-authors of the study concludes that the first inhabitants of Africa not only represent human beings biologically modern, but also intellectual and cultural.

Researchers at the University of London claim that jewelry and other decorative items are one of the most important early manifestations of human civilization.
