Recent archaeology work at the Don River near Moscow has found evidence of human life in Russia around 45,000 years ago.
A University of California research team recently unearthed fascinating news for Russians: homo sapiens probably first colonised Europe in Russia, around 45,000 years ago.
The team of scientists were excavating sites along the Don River, 400km south of Moscow. They found stone, bones, tools made from ivory and various ornaments, and have dated these finds to between 42,000 and 45,000 years old. That makes it possible that the first humans in Europe lived in Russia.
