! Boat passengers find an 8000-year-old human skull, analysis revealed a lot
A human skull was found in the Minnesota River, and local authorities said it most likely belonged to a young man who lived between 5500 and 6000 BC, and the skull was found by two kayakers on a river drained by drought.
Passengers of the two boats were enjoying their last summer glimmer on the Minnesota River last September, and suddenly they spotted a strange brown piece and when they examined it and found that it was a bone piece; They decided to contact the Renville County Sheriff's Office.
In turn, the mayor's office sent the bone to a medical examiner and then to a forensic anthropologist with the FBI who was unable to identify but made a startling discovery last Tuesday through carbon dating.
Sheriff Hubble, citing the results of the anthropologist, said that these bones were part of a skull and were most likely from a young man who lived 8000 years ago, between 5500 and 6000 BC, and added: “It is possible that the young man traversed parts of what is now Minnesota during the period It was found in ancient North America at a time when people primarily ate nuts and seeds before subsistence farming time, according to a report from the Archeology Laboratory at Augustana University in South Dakota.
Kathleen Blow, a professor of anthropology at Minnesota State University, said last Wednesday that it was possible that the young man with the skull was eating a diet of plants, deer, turtles and mussels in freshwater in a small area, and continued to say, "Maybe there weren't many people in it." Time wandering in Minnesota 8000 years ago, because the glaciers retreated a few thousand years before that, and that period we still don't know much about."
According to Dr. Blue, Minnesota has three other remains from the same time period that have already been studied, as it is rare for Native American tribes in the state to allow their ancestors to be examined for archaeological purposes.
An FBI anthropologist examined the skull and determined that the man had a severe head wound, and it is not entirely clear if this was how the young man died.
