Find the world's oldest arrow in South Africa

South African anthropologists and archaeologists have discovered 64,000-year-old sharp stone samples, which are direct evidence that humans at that time began creating arrows.

The blood and bone traces found in the pointed stone samples indicate that they are sharp stones inserted into the arrowhead when hunting, the BBC quoted.

The oldest arrow is found in South Africa

The University of Johannesburg scientists unearthed the arrowheads from ancient sediments in Sibudu cave in South Africa. Martize Lombard, head of the archaeological group, described the arrowhead in the study as "forensic stones" .

The spoilage of the stones is very similar to the spoiled motifs of hand-held dances, Lombard said.

There is a bit of glue, plastic on the stone arrow, which scientists think is a glue made from plants used to accelerate."The presence of colloid implies that the ancients could produce a composite device, consisting of different components derived from different materials mixed together to create an artifact" , Mr. Lombard added.
