A study published this week in the "Nature Ecology & Evolution" journal has used new techniques to analyze the bones and teeth of seven different humans who were part of the Iberomaurusian people, who lived between 13,000 and 15,000 years ago in what's now Morocco. Scientists believe these humans who preceded us ate a diet of charred sweet acorns, pine and pistachio nuts, wild oats, and wild peas.

Pretty fascinating. I think they will find out that we have had many prior civilizations with lost history, lost advanced technology, and all that would be left would most likely be things made of stone. They found a pure iron sledge hammer over 200 feet deep in the ground with a petrified handle. They did a carbon dating on it showing around 250 million years old. So many things we don't know or lost to history. Most of life died out around 12,000 to 15,000 years ago during the last great ice age. Who knows what humans knew prior to that. History had to start over.
