Human remains and artifacts dating back 45,000 years.

Quote:

Genome sequencing shows some individuals share family ties with surprising populations, and all boast plenty of Neanderthal relatives.

As more ancient sites are discovered and studied, theories regarding human history and migrations are challenged. 45,000 year old links to Native Americans discovered in Europe puts another twist on things. Did some of the people living in that area travel to what is now known as the Americas? Or did people from the Americas travel to Europe?

From article: A vast Stone Age house has been reconstructed using only the prehistoric tools and techniques that our ancestors would have recognised 5,000 years ago. Makeshift bone chisels and stone axes have created an entire thatched timber building at Butser Ancient Farm in the Hampshire South Downs. In a groundbreaking project, archaeologists followed evidence from the remains of an actual house found in Berkshire in 2012 – the home of early farmers around 3,800 BC.
