One of the most significant initial discoveries on that front was found in 1929 at a site near Clovis, New Mexico. Mammoth bones and stone tools at the site date back to 13,000 years ago.
Geometric shapes. It’s unclear how long ago the petroglyphs were made. But the study — published in March in the journal Scientific Reports — notes that radiocarbon dating has found burial ...
This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
