Unearthed in Kashmir: Ancient Elephants and Early Humans' Oldest Butchery Site in India

Researchers have uncovered the earliest evidence of animal butchery in India, dating back 300,000 to 400,000 years ago, in the Kashmir Valley. The fossils of three ancient elephants, identified as Palaeoloxodon turkmenicus, and 87 stone tools suggest that early humans extracted marrow from the bones. These findings provide new insights into early human activity in the region and the evolution of the now-extinct Palaeoloxodon genus.
