It dates back at least 476,000 years, predating the emergence of our own species, Homo sapiens. Expert examination of stone tool cut-marks on the wood indicates that these early hominids skillfully shaped and joined two substantial logs, likely laying the foundation for a platform or a segment of a dwelling..This finding represents the earliest evidence globally of deliberate wood crafting by human ancestors. Prior to this discovery, evidence of wood use by early humans was primarily associated with its role in fire-making, crafting digging sticks, and fashioning spears..Wood is rarely encountered at such ancient archaeological sites due to its susceptibility to rot and decay. However, at Kalambo Falls, consistently high water levels have preserved the wood. This revelation challenges the conventional belief that Stone Age humans led nomadic lives. At Kalambo Falls, these early humans not only had access to a perennial water source but also found sustenance in the surrounding forest, enabling them to establish settlements and create wooden structures..Professor Larry Barham, leading the 'Deep Roots of Humanity' research project at the University of Liverpool, says: ''This find has changed how I think about our early ancestors. Forget the label 'Stone Age,' look at what these people were doing: they made something new, and large, from wood. They used their intelligence, imagination, and skills to create something they'd never seen before, something that had never previously existed.'' .He emphasised that these early humans transformed th (Credit Image: © Cover Images/Zuma Press/Fotoarena)
