"Archaeologists Uncover Ancient Wooden Structures Dating Back Half a Million Years"

Archaeologists have discovered the earliest evidence of wooden structures in Zambia, dating back over 476,000 years. These structures, including raised platforms and tools, have "no known parallels" and predate the earliest known Homo Sapiens fossils. The findings challenge our understanding of early human capabilities and demonstrate their use of large tree trunks for construction. The discovery was made possible by the wet conditions at the Kalambo Falls, which preserved the wooden materials. Such archaeological finds contribute to our understanding of human history and shed light on ancient hunting practices and the origins of significant landmarks like Stonehenge.
