A 400,000-Year-Old Cave With a Time Capsule Rewrites the Story of Early Humans

Excavation of the prehistoric cave at Fureidis (Fordis), Israel

A rare prehistoric cave, estimated to be around 300,000 years old, is a “time capsule,” sealed for hundreds of thousands of years. A research team from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), the Zinman Institute of Archaeology, and the University of Haifa believes that the site will offer a unique glimpse into a little-known chapter of human evolution. Pre-Neanderthal human-like creatures, estimated to have lived up to 400,000 years ago, once inhabited the cave. It is one of only a handful of sites from this little-known period accessible to scientists. Located on the outskirts of the town of Fureidis in northern Israel, the cave was in the way of upcoming construction projects until archaeologists intervened.

Researchers Dated the Cave to 400,000 Years Ago

Dr. Kobi Vardi, Head of the Israel Antiquities Authority’s Prehistory Branch, and his colleague, Ron Shimelmitz, Associate Professor of Archaeology at the University of Haifa, determined that Pre-Neanderthals once inhabited the cave. After finding flint tools such as hand axes and scrapers characteristic of the Acheulian-Yabrudian culture of pre-Neanderthal hominins who lived in the Levant between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago, the researchers concluded that the cave site was at least 250,000 years old. “It is very rare to find a site in such a state of preservation,” said Vardi.
