Maps have undoubtedly been a helpful part of our past and present and have helped navigate the most ancient spaces. People might be aware of digital maps and paper maps, however, researchers stumbled upon a map carved in clay. A mesmerizing map that is around 2600 years old was discovered by archeologist Hormuzd Rassam, per My Modern Met. Suggested to be the map of the 6th century Babylonia, it is reportedly the world’s oldest existing map. Though archaeologists found just a fragment of the map, a lot is visible and comprehensible from the same. The British Museum acquired the map and it has been stored there ever since 1882.

Homo heidelbergensis was taller - averaging 7 ft - and more robust than modern humans [Mounier 2009]. Regarding social behaviour, Homo heidelbergensis may have been the first species to bury their dead, based on 28 skeletons found at Atapuerca, Spain. Evidence suggests the development and use of a proto-language. The discovery of red ochre at Terra Amata indicates personal adornment. Dental analysis suggests they may have been right-handed. Homo heidelbergensis was a sophisticated hunter, suggested by wooden projectile spears found at Schoningen in Germany attributed to this species. Homo heidelbergensisThe first Homo heidelbergensis fossil discovery of this species was made in 1907 by Daniel Hartmann at Mauer in Germany. Other fossils have since been discovered in France, Greece, Italy, Spain and China. In 1994, a discovery was made in England at the Boxgrove Quarry site, known as 'Boxgrove Man'. In terms of the evolutionary tree, with the spread of Homo heidelbergensis out of Africa and into Europe, the climate at this time would have caused a divergence: Homo neanderthalensis diverged from Homo heidelbergensis probably some 300,000 years ago in Europe; Homo sapiens probably diverged between 200,000 and 100,000 years ago in Africa.
