Ancient Wooden Structure Preceded Modern Humans

Archaeologists have discovered the oldest suspected wooden structure near Zambia's Kalambo Falls, dating back to nearly half a million years ago, before the appearance of Homo sapiens. The site contains four wooden tools, including a notched branch and a cut log, indicating the use of intelligence and skills to create something new. The construction material was preserved due to waterlogging. The findings push back the timeline of human construction and provide insights into human evolution.
