Scientists discover the oldest human burial in Africa
According to a group of scientists, they found evidence of the first known human buried in a grave. The location of the fossil is 10 miles inland from southeast Kenya s ocean beaches. Their investigation shows the grave of an early Homo sapiens child dated at 78,000 years old via carbon dating, reported National Geographic.
Even though some human burials in the Middle East and Europe are older, the excavation in Africa is one of the oldest unquestionable examples of a body interred in a pit prepared for that purpose anywhere in the world.
