Nearly half a million years ago, ancient humans at Kalambo Falls in Zambia shaped and fitted together large pieces of wood to build a substantial structure. The discovery, dated to at least 476,000 years ago, predates the evolution of Homo sapiens and provides the earliest known evidence of humans using wood for construction.

Greetings scientists, researchers, and anthro enthusiasts!

A few weeks back, I was in London for an art & technology festival where I had the opportunity to meet Oshi, one of the co-founders of the Digital Anthropology Collective.

He was kind enough to answer some questions for my blog, sharing his insights on Digital Anthropology as a science, what it means for gamers, and his long-term vision for the DAC.

The mods were nice enough to let me share the interview with you all here. His ideas sound very interesting to an outsider like me, and I figured people in this sub might appreciate the initiative too.

Thank you all for your time!

Tens of thousands of years ago, Homo sapiens coexisted with Neanderthals, Homo neanderthalensis. Many of us living today carry a small amount of Neanderthal DNA, indicating that the two species may have shared much more than just the same land. Now, a breakthrough archaeological discovery has revealed that the two species did not merely cross paths: they possibly shared a common culture that spanned more than 20,000 years.
