Evidence of 21,000-Year-Old Human Butchery Found in Argentina

Cut marks on glyptodont fossils suggest early humans in South America arrived much earlier than previously believed.

  • Researchers discovered butchered glyptodont bones near the Reconquista River in Argentina.
  • The cut marks on the fossils indicate the use of stone tools by ancient humans.
  • Radiocarbon dating places these fossils at around 21,000 years old, predating other known evidence by 6,000 years.
  • This discovery challenges the traditional timeline of human migration into the Americas.
  • Further excavation and analysis are needed to confirm these findings and explore their implications.
