Ancient Woodworking Skills Redraw Human History Timeline The discovery in Greece of ancient wooden tools has sent shockwaves through the archaeological community, pushing back evidence of human resourcefulness by at least 40,000 years.
The remarkably preserved artifacts, estimated to be around 430,000 years old, were found at the Marathousa 1 site, a lakeside location that was once home to early humans during the Middle Pleistocene era.
The find is significant not only because of its age but also because it challenges our understanding of human evolution.
