HUMANS EVOLVED
Humans' evolution is an inexhaustible history. An archaeologist is continuously finding the human evolution in many ways. Soil has the memory is now believable one. Wherever we dig there is history lying under that gives a mysterious thought to a certain topic. Many unimaginable events might have been taken place in the past and makes us feel like to have a time machine. Here we are going to see about a topic that has been cleared but the file has been opened again.
STONE AGE
The most important exploration of archaeologists is the way the human evolved. After much research archaeologists drafted out the age of humans into the stone age, medieval age, and modern age. But what if another period was there before the stone age? Yes. It is true.
ETHIOPIA
The story starts in Ethiopia. A passionate archaeologist who is every firm in his search for fossils. Diamond or other metals can be found easily but fossils are not that easy to find it out. A desert where the temperature would rise from 50 to 60 degrees Celcius throughout the daytime. People don't visit there due to the hot temperature. Even the Ethiopian government won't enter that desert. Only burglars hide there in the corners of the desert. This passionate archaeologist walks into the desert in search of fossils.
A cave-like structure is in the middle of the desert. This man suddenly gets his leg hit by a small piece of rock. He takes it to throw it away. But when he took in his hand he came to know that it was a piece of bone. Near the bone, he found there lied another bone too. When he joined these two, he got a human knee structure like bone. He suddenly took these two bones and called the world's experts to research them. Even the Ethiopian government and the American government-funded to research on this. This man again continued to go to the desert and reached the cave. The cave entrance was very small in such a way that we need squeeze our bodies to get in. He entered in and found a pond.
In the openings of a pond, he found many other bones. He collected everything and framed it that gave a whole human structure with some pieces missing. Everything was taken to a research center in America and released a report.
The bones we collected belong to a human-like ape. This species is exhausted but lived 3.2 million years ago which is more than the stone age period. We considered the stone age is the period from which humans evolved but this type of species is 3.2 million years old.
It is considered a female bone and she was 12 years old when she died. But she was a fully grown, female adult. The humans who lived 3.2 million before were fully developed when they were 12 years itself.
The desert which is now was a thick forest before. After every research, scientists predicted the death of. She was standing on the top of the tall tree and accidentally fell which resulted in the bone scattering. After her death, heavy rain occurred and formed a pond that preserved her body. As years passed, the pond dried and her body got decomposed. Due to another heavy rain, the stagnant water is still carrying the bone that we have got now.
The man who found this and others planned to celebrate this and have a party in the desert where they found it. They played the Lucy song from The Beatles Band. The Chief Archaeologist suggested naming the human Lucy that is how the name is derived.
Soil and water have the memory. It is the place where history is inscribed. The more we explore the more we get the history.
