Archaeologists discover half a million-year-old wooden structure -- and it's not built by Homo sapiens
Archaeologists discover half a million-year-old wooden structure -- and it's not built by Homo sapiens
It predates rise of modern humans and could have formed a platform
The researchers don’t know which ancient human species made the structure and the tools, but it’s unlikely to have been Homo sapiens. The earliest fossils of Homo sapiens found so far date from around 300,000 years ago and were found in Israel, Dull told CNN. He believes the people who made the structure were cognitively sophisticated and it would be very exciting to figure out who constructed this.

Could be Neanderthals, no?
No. It was found in a region Neanderthals never inhabited.
Ah, just looked at the time range.
