“We do have long to mass killings – Look

In Kenya, the hitherto oldest known massacre discovered among men, it is claimed in a new study.

Human skeletons with arrowheads in their bodies, smashed skulls and broken hands, knees and ribs were found in the Nataruk area in Kenya. These remains belong to 27 hunter-gatherers 10,000 years ago were brutally murdered by other people. And that would be the evidence of the oldest known so far massacre among hunter-gatherers is claimed in Nature

21 of the 27 exhumed skeletons to belong to adults.. eight men, eight women and five copies could not be identified, the remaining six were fossils 10,000 years ago young children who were close to the four adult women’s hands some people would even be tied up.; which could indicate an execution.

But why is this group massacred? This remains of course speculating, and so do the researchers whatsoever. 10,000 years ago the Nataruk area was very fertile with plenty of power sources and a large lake. Lead researcher Marta Mirazon Lahr and her colleagues therefore suggest that the men were attacked, so that their sources were and clutter. Gevalletje robbery so.

Meanwhile, it is by various scientists who did not participate in the study shot on the investigation. Paleo Anthropologist Erik Trinkhaus tells The Verge that the 60 same kind of discovery has been made in Northern Sudan. These hunter-gatherers have been murdered since according to him, 12,000 to 14,000 years.

But, says Lahr, this study explicitly states that there is no scientific justification for the age of the skeletons found in North Sudan . It therefore maintains its view that this is the oldest known massacre
