Archaeologists of Europe and Africa have discovered the ancient wood structure ever, around half a million years old — which means a mysterious species of hominins, which was existing before homo-sapiens, was might responsible for its formation.
The scientists issued their discoveries in a recent paper in the science journal Nature, where they mentioned that they had detected the wood structure of “two interlinked logs connected transversely by an purposely cut notch” at a site in Kalambo Falls, Zambia, and it was assigned 476,000 years ago. At the exact place, which the researchers say was might the beginning of a dwelling or platform, they also detected four tools manufactured from wood: a digging stick, a cut log, a wedge, and notched branch, everything was also categorized before the period of contemporary humans.
“This discovery has diverged my view about our early ancestors,” said University of Liverpool archaeology professor and the paper’s chief author Larry Barham in a statement. “Excluding the term ‘Stone Age,’ give an eye at what these peoples were doing: they discovered advance thing, and big, from wood. They utilized their mind, creativity, thinking, and skills to produce something new which was never ever seen before, something that had never existed.”

The wood was conserved because Kalambo Falls retained the parts waterlogged forever, hence keeping them them distant from oxygen and oxygen-dependant bacteria that would devalue them. The discovery is specifically remarkable because wood has been conserved very rare from the Early Stone Age which indicates an ultra-rare peek into the lives of our early ancestors.
Despite the interesting finding of the wooden objects themselves, the scientists said that the discovery indicates a more complicated image of their lives; that these hominins were maybe not migrant, rather than this they spent an uninterrupted period of time surviving in that region, lengthy enough to create a structure from the nearby forests and pull out fresh water from the falls.
These distant hominins weren’t the only ones interested in the locale. After that Kalambo Falls became a place for homo sapien work, and a rich gold mine of archaeological discoveries from the Stone Age and onward. Its importance is so huge that it’s even being regarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Definitely the finding of the the earliest wooden man-made structure should arch it to the official list, connecting its significance to our understanding of human evolution.
