Some researchers have examined fossilized footprints to 4.270 meters high and have tested the existence of peragroprís permanent settlements of more than 7.400 years old
Humans settled permanently on the high Tibetan plateau 7.400 at least years and some 13.000 years maximum, According to a study published today in Science. "La fecha de la primera ocupación humana permanente en la meseta del Tíbet había sido fijada en unos 3.600 years old, cuando se estableció la agricultura", The study exposes, Directed by Michael Meyer, from the University of Innsbruck. However, The International Researchers team has examined a series of fossilized human footprints to 4.270 meters high and has tested the existence of permanent pre -agricultural settlements of 7.400 Years of antiquity and possibly previous.
Researchers have carried out a thorough examination of human impressions, Hands and feet, found in 1998 In the fossilized mud from hot springs, about chusang, In the Tibetan Central Altiplano. This archaeological site is, therefore, The oldest dated reliably on the Tibet plateau, As explained in a statement the University of Wyoming, which has also participated in the investigation. Randy Haas, A researcher from that university, It has shown that the settlements were durable because to get to the site of Chusang from the surrounding lowlands you have to walk at least 370 kilometers through the Himalayan arch, A path too long and dangerous to be commonly traveled by hunters-gatherers.
"Los entornos de gran elevación, to more than 2.500 Altitude meters, They were one of the last places in the world that were colonized by humans and, therefore, son como laboratorios naturales para estudiar la adaptación humana", dice Haas. "Nuestros hallazgos demuestran que en la meseta tibetana hubo unas respuestas genéticas y culturales mucho más antiguas de lo que se creía hasta ahora", concludes.
