Oldest fossils have been found in many areas of the Great Persian Empire. This was in ancient history, when Cyrus The Great ruled Persia. At the time of his rule many archaeologists found fossils dating back to 1 billion years ago from creatures never thought of by any human. Persia is modern day Iran, and is going through many revolutions, however if you ever decide to go there, there is a Museum called, "Kootlet", it contains many of the most ancient fossils ever discovered by man kind!

What was the technology for the early humans?
stone, bone, sticks, skins, etc.
To compare the relative ages of fossils scientists sometimes use an easily recognized species called?
To compare the relative ages of fossils, scientists use an early recognized species called an index fossil. An index fossil must have existed for a short period time and must have covered a wide geographical range.
Which describes how early humans used wind and solar power for the same purpose?
to grind grain into powder that could be used for other purposes
What are stromatolites?
A widely distributed sedimentary structure consisting of laminated carbonate or silicate rocks, produced over geologic time by the trapping, binding, or precipitating of sediment by groups of microorganisms, primarily cyanobacteria.
What is the age limit for radiocarbon dating of fossils?
The age limits for radiocarbon dating anything is about 100-40,000 years. However, to date the early hominid fossils that have been found in Africa scientists have used Argon/Argon dating to date the volcanic lava and ash it was buried between. The age limits of Argon/Argon dating are 1,000 to the oldest rocks on earth. Generally, you never really date the item of interest when figuring out the age. You will date items that it was used with, buried with, cooked with, etc. Many different dating methods are used to date the items and the age limits vary between each method.
On which continent did early humans first appear?
Early humans first appeared in Africa. The oldest known fossils of early human ancestors, such as Ardipithecus and Australopithecus, have been found in East Africa, indicating that Africa is the continent where early humans originated.
On which continent did humans originate?
Africa Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.
What do scientists study to learn more about early humans?
Scientists study fossils, ancient tools, and DNA to learn more about early humans. By comparing and analyzing these sources of evidence, scientists can piece together information about the behavior, lifestyle, and relationships of our ancestors.
Most early hominid fossils have been found in?
The oldest humanoid fossils were all found in Africa.
Why is Africa and important continent in the history of early humans?
-because thats where humans evolved
Which continent did early humans first exist?
it might be africa but it was europe
What continent scientists believe early modern humans came from?
Scientists believe early modern humans originated in Africa. This theory is supported by fossil and genetic evidence that suggests humans evolved in Africa before migrating to other continents.
Where did fossils evidence did early humans go first Europe or Australia?
Early humans would have first gone to Europe. Australia is a island and early humans would have probably walked to europe far before they rode the ocean to Australia.
Who found the country Europe?
Early humans. However, Europe is a continent, not a country.
What continent was the first early human discovered on?
The first early humans were discovered in Africa. Hominin fossils and archaeological evidence dating back millions of years have been found across the continent, leading scientists to believe that Africa is the birthplace of modern humans.
How do archaeologists?
They dig for fossils or artifacts to figure out what early humans used for tools or their culture or how the shape of their bones were
What do the glossopteris fossils tell us about the early positions of the continent?
That they must have been joined up in the past because the same fossils could not exist on the continents given their current position.
