Why did early humans leave so little evidence of their existence?
|
As I read this article, which mentions human bodies that were buried a long time ago (8,000 years) it gets me to think about the striking lack of early human burial sites. AAT can help explain this: most early humans were probably living along the shore, burying their dead in the ocean. They were not using fire, because they did not need to cook the marine foods they were eating. There must have been some early humans that tried living inland, but there were so few of them that we have practically no evidence of their existence. AquaticApe.net |

Fire -- 400,000 years.
Burials -- 100,000 years.
If you wanted to know, you'd Google it.
If, like all other stalkers you just crave attention, try joining a club, since you don't seem to have anything original to offer here, just regurgitating what Elaine said fifty years ago.

Before people chipped stone tools populations would have been low, especially in environments likely to preserve fossils. It also may be they did not live in caves. Beach caves get worn away unless sea level rises after they are formed. Then they are mostly under water now.
