Megalithso The most ancient prehistoric finds from Tibet are tools that are not yet precisely dated, but belong to the middle and late parts of the Old Stone Age. Tools from the middle of the Old Stone Age are generally associated with Neanderthal-type populations, while late Old Stone Age tools are related to early modern populations. Evidence of early modern man has been found in Tsaidam hunting camps, evidenced by microlithic tools, and farming villages have also been discovered. Megalithic sites and caves are undated, but appear to belong to ancient times. Evolutionary Timetable
Millions Different timetables for the emergence of the human line from the ape and monkey family are suggested by traditional anthropological methods and by molecular dating. This modern technique offers a measure of the closeness of relationship between organisms by determining the degree of similarity in proteins or DNA. This measure suggests that human ancestors emerged more recently than had been believed, but still more than five million years ago.
