Earliest Human Presence in South America, Robots with Living Skin: Breakthroughs in Science Recent scientific breakthroughs have shed light on early human presence and innovative robotics. In Argentina, fossil bones of Neosclerocalyptus, a glyptodont relative, have cut marks suggesting humans were in southern South America approximately 21,000 years ago, much earlier than previously believed.In another groundbreaking development, researchers at…

Butchered animal bones indicate earliest human presence in southern South America

Fossil bones found in Argentina of a large armadillo relative with cut marks suggestive of butchering indicate humans were present in southern South America some 21,000 years ago, according to researchers, earlier than previously thought.

Giant Armadillo Provides Evidence of Humans in S. America

A new study reveals that ancient humans may have butchered and consumed a giant armadillo-like creature around 20,000 years ago in present-day Argentina. This discovery is another in a long line of emerging evidence that suggests that humans spread throughout the Americas much earlier than previously thought. The study details the discovery of cut marks on fossil remains of a glyptodont called Neosclerocalyptus, an extinct giant armadillo relati…

Ancient giant armadillo bones reveal oldest human existence in America

When scientists recently dug up fossilized bones of a species of megafauna by a riverbank in Argentina, they found something even more fascinating than the remnants of this glyptodont. On those bones they found the type of cut marks not inflicted by other animals but by stone tools, in the process of primitive butchering. This would put human presence in the area at 21,000 years ago – some 5,000 years before people were thought to have settled i…
