Unexpected Adventure to Rizal Kalinga
According to ("Philippine Rhinoceros: Rewriting History and Science - Owlcation" https://owlcation.com/humanities/how-a-709-000-year-old-bones-of-Rhinoceros-from-the-Philippines-changed-world-history ) Unearthed prehistoric rhinoceros remains were discovered in the Philippines, and it was dated as far back as 700,000 years. Along with these remains are tools made by prehistoric humans. Nothing unusual, except for two facts:
1.The most recent discovery of the oldest humans, remains and evidence, in the Philippine Archipelago was 67,000 years ago.
2.Humans weren't supposed to be in the Philippines 709,000 years ago.
The discovery offered a huge jump in the human history timeline.
In 2014, a team of archaeologists unearthed remains of a butchered, prehistoric, and extinct rhinoceros species endemic in the Philippines that had existed hundreds of thousands of years ago in Rizal, Kalinga. But there's more to it than just discovered fossils.
The bones have clear pieces of evidence of cut marks and dents, indicating that the animal was slaughtered by prehistoric humans using sharp stone tools.
The discovery wasn't all that surprising in the world of science and archaeology, until it was dated back to be at least 709,000 years ago—a time where historical textbooks say that humans did not exist in any of the Philippine islands—using dating methods such as electron spin resonance of quartz grains, single crystal 40Ar/39Ar dating, and electron spin resonance uranium-series dating using the enamel of the rhinoceros' tooth.
The discovery of the bones of Rhino is very exciting. So if you wanna see this in person come and visit the Municipality of Rizal Kalinga.
