If sites like Karahan Tepe could date to potentially 12,000 years ago, where inhabitants where hunter gatherers (with maybe minimal early agriculture) and pre-pottery. Then why don't we see anything 15k, 30k, 50k, or even 100k years back? Submitted by LevHB t3_1219uac on March 25, 2023 at 3:58 AM in askscience 6 comments 14
