The African origins of the human family tree are well known.

However, a flurry of fascinating fossil and DNA findings across Asia in recent years have compelled a fundamental reevaluation of our family saga.

There, completely new species of extinct humans have been discovered, including kin dubbed small hobbits and the muscular dragon man, as well as the three little pigs painted on a cave wall, which is thought to be the oldest example of figurative art in existence.

This coming week, get ready to have your mind completely blown by another another fascinating fossil discovery from the area that indicates just how advanced and smart our ancestors truly were.

An amputee who lived 31,000 years ago was discovered by archaeologists in a hidden cave on Borneo, Indonesia, upending our conception of the Stone Age.

The lower left leg of the young person’s bone was missing, and Australian and Indonesian experts believe it was skillfully amputated just above the ankle by a shockingly proficient prehistoric surgeon, most likely using stone tools.

Only a century ago, the majority of patients who underwent amputation would have perished, either from shock and blood loss or from an infection that followed.

According to research, not only was this Stone Age procedure successful, but the amputee lived for a further six to nine years before passing away naturally and being tenderly buried by caregivers.

Scientists have been concerned about the Thwaites Glacier, also referred to as the “doomsday glacier,” in West Antarctica for decades because they are concerned about the drastic sea level rise that would come along with its eventual destruction.

The historical retreat of the Florida-sized glacier has been documented by geophysicists in an effort to predict what will probably occur in the future.

The research team discovered that, at some time during the previous two centuries, the glacier’s base detached from the seafloor and began to retreat at a rate that was twice as fast as what scientists had previously noticed.
