Researchers have confirmed the oldest human burial site discovered in Africa, piecing the find together through painstaking work involving meticulous archaeological methods, intricate computer modelling, and the shells of giant snails.
A child, aged between two and three years old, was carefully laid to rest in a cave which today is known as Panga ya Saidi, on the Kenyan coast.

Africa is often referred to as the cradle of humankind – the birthplace of our species,
Homo sapiens. There is evidence of the development of early symbolic behaviours such as pigment use and perforated shell ornaments in Africa, but so far most of what we know about the development of complex social behaviours such as burial and mourning has come from Eurasia.
However, the remains of a child buried almost 80,000 years ago under an overhang at Panga ya Saidi cave in Kenya is providing important new details.
Working with a team of researchers from Kenya, Germany, Spain, France, Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States, we studied the burial. Our results, published in Nature today, reveal valuable insights into human cultural evolution, including how Middle Stone Age populations interacted with the dead. ....
