A 70,000-year-old archeological discovery solves the mystery of human evolution
In Iraq, an archaeological skeleton has been found in Neanderthals, who is over 70,000 years old. This discovery solves many matters that were absent from human history.
Archaeological remains were discovered in Shanidar Cave in Iraq, where the remains of 10 skeletons of Neanderthals gathered and were found in the period between the fifties and sixties and underwent a lot of study and experiments.
The importance of this discovery could be that the skeletons include articulated organs for the first time for Neanderthals more than two decades ago, which helped scientists get to know the nature of the life of the ancient person.
This discovery also illustrates the funerary practices practiced by the ancient person, a matter that is known for the first time, according to Dr. Emma Pomeroy, from the Archeology Department in Cambridge.
With the use of modern and advanced technologies, scientists discovered that these people were deliberately buried according to specific rites and it was not random payment, which indicates a more advanced lifestyle than we think about the life of the ancient person.
On the other hand, Shanidar Cave can be relied upon as a site of funerary memory thanks to the frequent rituals practiced by ancient humans regarding the burial of the dead.
Scientists are currently searching for answers to more complex questions about the ways of the death of the ancient person and whether the same causes that currently cause human death are the same ones that caused his death or not.
