A pair of crossed logs in Zambia may be the oldest evidence of early humans building with wood
Researchers have uncovered a simple structure from the Stone Age that may be the oldest evidence yet of early humans building with wood.
Usually, wood rots quickly when it’s exposed to the elements, which has left us with little evidence of how our ancient relatives used the material, Barham explained. But these materials were submerged in the river, which helped preserve them. The log structure was made at least 476,000 years ago, while the wood tools are slightly younger, under 400,000 years old. That places the materials in a time before our species, Homo sapiens, evolved.
