Humans lived on the Tibetan Plateau during the last ice age - 7,000 years earlier than previously thought



Analysis of human handprints and footprints left in stone at Chusang, the earliest known settlement on the Tibetan Plateau, shows that the site could have been occupied nearly 13,000 years ago.

Previous studies put the age of Chusang at about 5,200 years. A new study, published in the journal Science, analysed isotopes of thorium, uranium and carbon to calculate the age of the site. It found that the latest the site could have been established was 7,400 years ago, and the earliest was 12,700 years ago.
