The First Inhabitants of England Turn Out to be Africans, Recorded Since 950,000 Years Ago

The following is the translation of the provided 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The archaeologists have found evidence that the earliest inhabitants in the country of England were around 950 thousand years old near Canterbury, England. The discovery, led by the Department of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, has found evidence of the existence of ancient humans dating back between 560,000 and 620,000 years ago during the Paleolithic Period. What happens next? Let's take a look at the summary!"

The Origin of Ancient Human Homo Heidelbergensis.

This site was first identified in the 1920s when workers discovered handheld axes at the bottom of an ancient river, which has now been studied by researchers using modern dating techniques through radiometric dating, infrared radiofluorescence (IR-RF) dating, and controlled excavations at the site.

In a study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, it has confirmed the existence of Homo heidelbergensis, an extinct subspecies or species of ancient humans that existed during the Middle Pleistocene.

Researchers believe that Homo heidelbergensis is the ancestor of the Neanderthals. Homo heidelbergensis is thought to be a descendant of Homo erectus in Africa during the early expansion of the first hominins out of Africa, which began around 2 million years ago.

This research reveals that ancient humans had inhabited England between 840,000 and 950,000 years ago. However, this early settlement was brief due to glacial climate changes that forced the population out of northern Europe, which had colonized England during a warming phase between 560,000 and 620,000 years ago.

During that period, England was connected to Europe through the northwestern peninsula of the European continent. This condition allowed ancient human populations to migrate to new hunting areas during the warm summer seasons for several months. Researchers also discovered the age of the site and found new flint stones, including primitive "scrapers," using infrared-radiofluorescence (IR-RF) dating methods.

Homo heidelbergensis is a hunter and gatherer who consumes a variety of animal and plant foods. The discovered tools indicate the processing of animal carcasses, such as deer, horses, rhinos, and bison, as well as the cultivation of tubers and other plants. Evidence of flake tools and sharp axes has been found at the site.

Trace of the Earliest Animal Skin Processing in Prehistoric Europe.

Dr. Tomos Proffitt from the Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology, who analyzed the artifact, conveyed, "In the Paleolithic era, scrapers were often associated with the preparation of animal skins. Therefore, the discovery of this artifact may indicate that during that time, humans were processing animal skins, possibly for the production of clothing or shelter."

The diversity of stone tools, from both original discoveries and new excavations that are smaller in size, indicates that hominins in the region that later became England experienced rapid development and not just survival.
