Earliest 'massacre' site unearthed in Kenya
Archaeologists say they have unearthed the earliest evidence of human warfare to be scientifically dated, at a site in northern Kenya. The 10,000-year-old remains of 27 people found at a remote site west of Lake Turkana show that they met violent deaths. Many experts have argued that conflict only emerged more recently, as humans became more settled. But these people, by contrast, were apparently nomadic hunter-gatherers.
