Study Reveals Ancient Humans Butchered Giant Armadillo-like Creatures in Argentina

ancient-origins

A recent study discovered evidence suggesting that ancient humans may have butchered and consumed a giant armadillo-like creature approximately 20,000 years ago in Argentina. The research examined fossil remains of a glyptodont, revealing cut marks consistent with stone tool use, indicating deliberate butchering. This finding challenges the previous understanding of human migration into the Americas, suggesting that humans may have arrived thousands of years earlier than the previously established timeline. The discovery sheds light on early human interactions with megafauna, indicating a complex relationship that predates earlier archaeological assumptions.
