Ice Man The topic of my article, taken from the New York Times is about archaeologists finding evidence that human life has been around longer than speculated. These new discoveries have come from an old riverbed near the Ural Mountains. Through their findings of stone tools, animal bones, and mammoth tusks that show signs of chopping in them due to human activity which have carbon dated, they have found that either humans or Neaderthals have been around longer than once thought. This would extend the already long period of the Paleolithic era by about 15,000 years and proof that life existed at such high altitudes. These findings relate to anthropology a lot more than they just being artifacts. This is due to the problems that arise from the findings. The first problem is the fact that the artifacts came from a riverbed. This means that the artifacts could have been replaced from their original place and put in their current position by the movement of water. Also with the presence of water one could say that the artifacts could have been placed in different strata with its tumbling movements.
