Sensational: Europe’s oldest stone tools made by Homo Erectus found in a Hungarian village
Change language:
A major archaeological discovery has recently been made near King’s House, where researchers have uncovered Europe’s oldest stone tools made by Homo Erectus. These findings suggest that tool-using human communities were present on the continent as early as 1.4 million years ago, shedding new light on the European phase of human evolution.
The discovery of ancient man-made stone tools
A team of researchers led by the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences has discovered primitive man-made stone tools in the King’s House area. Using new methods to date the finds, the age of the tools has been estimated at 1.4 million years — 200,000 to 300,000 years older than the tools previously considered the oldest, found at the Atapuerca site in Spain.
Traces of Homo erectus in Europe
Although no direct human remains have been found at the site, the technique used to make the man-made stone tools suggests that Homo erectus, an extinct archaic human species, was responsible for their creation. This species was the first to leave Africa two million years ago, spreading to the Middle East, East Asia, and Europe. The King’s House discovery confirms the hypothesis that the first wave of Homo erectus migration into Europe came from the East, as reported by Heritage Daily.
The role of climate in migration
Based on an analysis of climate models and pollen data, the researchers concluded that the migration of Homo erectus to Europe occurred during three possible interglacial warm periods — i.e., between two ice ages — along the Danube. This discovery not only maps the routes of early human migration but also highlights the importance of climate and geography in shaping human expansion.
The “out of africa” theory has long been discredited! Europe was like africa two million years ago! Europeans evolved in Europe!!! Just as africans evolved in africa and asians evolved in asia! Get your facts right!!!
