FOUND IN JAPAN REMAINS OF A HOME OF 600,000 YEARS AGO

The remains of a human home of 600,000 years old have been discovered at Kamitakamori, Miyagi Prefecture, in Japan. Archeologists of the Tohoku Paleolithic Institute, Tohoku Fukushi University, support that it is the more ancient home of the world.
We add that, it seems that also in science the competitions of the sport are subentred. All say that their finds are the most ancient (generally it is true), putting in second plain news perhaps more important. The Lower Paleolithic was unknown in Japan until little decades ago. This discovery, with such dating, and other discoveries with amigdale equally " beautiful " as the Europeans ones, place Japan to the par of Europe, indeed, perhaps, the Japanese finds are more ancient.
In Japan, for now, there are no news about artistic finds,i.e.anthropomorhic or zoomorphic lithic sculptures of the Lower Paleolithic , but this, probably, because still not there are researchers that search for them, or that know to see to them. In the case of the home of Kamitakamori, where sure every medical report comes analyzed with cure, it is improbable thatthey can be sculptures, in how much the sculptures (at least in Europe) are not never in the places of habitation, but in the places of cult, places deducted from associations of sculptures.
