In Africa found the house age of 15 000 years

Polish archaeologists discovered the remains of buildings and human age of 15 000 years in Sudan, Africa. They are proof that the development of human society in this era is at a higher level than previously thought.
These houses were built in the late Paleolithic.
In Europe at that time, there were also the first structure. One such place is in Pinsevene, France.
But archaeological site in Sudan is different from other similar sites in that it leads scientists to believe that the construction skills of the local population were born in an even more ancient times than there was the settlement itself, explained the archaeologist Peter Osipinsky.

These people were of a very archaic way of life, so the origins of this behavior may be older than 15 000 years - says Osipinsky working on the site. Houses Affade were built in the late Paleolithic, but the people who lived here, have the skills and adhere to lifestyle typical of the Middle Paleolithic. This is a very important discovery it does indicate that these organized settlements go origins in very ancient times. 

This is the first evidence that Homo sapiens that time built houses of considerable size, have the skills of planning areas with different functions and are well adapted to the conditions of wetlands in the Nile Valley, said the publication of the scientific journal of the Polish PAP.

Conditions in the area were stable. After people have managed to adapt to the wetlands, their cultural evolution took a different path than the residents of other regions, which had to adapt to the ever-changing climate. This is one possible explanation for why their skills remain at the level of the Middle Paleolithic.

Originally Age archaeological site was estimated at 70 000 years, but studies have shown that his age of 15 000 years, says Osipinsky. This date was confirmed by the method of optically stimulated luminescence. This finding sheds light on the features of stable settlements drevnée 15,000 years and gives an understanding of migration on the African continent. A group of scientists will publish the final results of his research in the coming months.
