Ancient skeleton discovery in Thailand reveals prehistoric human life

A 29,000-year-old human skeleton was discovered in Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand, marking the oldest find of its kind in the country. The skeleton, believed to be that of an eight-year-old child, was found alongside ancient cave paintings. The skeleton was located two meters below the surface in good condition, suggesting ritualistic treatment. Archaeologists found evidence of a prehistoric community that consumed various animals and plants, indicating a developed culture. The discovery, made during ongoing explorations that began in 2022, may position Thailand as a significant site for studying human evolution. The Fine Arts Department plans to develop the site for educational purposes, though it is not yet ready for tourism.
