In Spain, archaeologists have found the oldest fingerprint - it may be a clue that Neanderthals created art. This was reported by The Guardian, reports UNN.

Details

According to the study, 43,000 years ago, a man dipped his finger in red pigment and drew a nose on a stone that looked like a face.

This discovery, which may enrich our understanding of how Neanderthals perceived and interpreted the world, became known after nearly three years of research by a team of Spanish archaeologists, geologists and forensic experts.

The stone had a strange shape and had red ocher, which really caught our attention.

said David Alvarez Alonso, an archaeologist at the Complutense University of Madrid.

Recall

In the Mexican cave Tlayokok discovered artifacts of the Tlacotepehua culture. It disappeared more than 500 years ago.

Also, UNN reported that in Hungary, on the extinct Somlo volcano, archaeologists discovered treasures aged 3400 years.
