They were found in China tools similar to those that European Neanderthals used. The mystery of the journey between continents.
Which, A kind of scraper. A well -known stone tool in archaeological sites in Europe and the Middle East.
Quinras are usually quite thick and asymmetrical, with a wide and sharp work blade that has clear signs of being used and sharp several times. It has durable cutting blades, ideal for long use cycles followed by sharpening.
In other times, they were used to shave and cut soft materials – meat and animal skins – and semi -district materials – wood, remember.
Now, one amazing archaeological discovery in southern China It is remodeling what scientists thought to know about the manufacture of stone age tools.
That is, it is in the background rewrite the history of the average paleolithic.
Investigators dug up stone tools in Longtan, which resemble those associated with Neanderthals in Europe and Western Asia.
The discoveries, dated between 60,000 and 50,000 years agothey include 53 characteristic razors of corner and 14 nuclei – tools first identified in the French Neanderthal site of La Quina in the 1950s. There are “clues” that indicate that they were used and kept over time, writes the.
Until now, had never been seen instruments so sophisticated in East Asiawhere it was believed that the first populations only produced simpler tools.
This challenges this assumption and marks the first definitive evidence of Quina technology in the region.
It is not yet clear how these tools arrived in China. A theory suggests that Denisovans, ancient human relatives in Asia, may have developed similar tools independently.
But they may also have been the Neanderthals: they made long trips and may have taken technology to the east.
