What did you find in the Green Cave in the west?
The Green Cave in western Italy is a famous cave, where the remains of ancient human life have been found. But what is even more surprising is that there are many archaeological strata in this cave, and each layer shows different periods of human existence. Archaeologists analyzed that in the distant prehistoric times, these caves were regarded as living places by the ancients. At present, the earliest relics excavated from these caves belong to the Paleolithic Age, about 35,000 BC. The skull excavated here belongs to the Krumanon people and is also the real primitive man in Europe. However, among all the bones excavated in Green's Cave, what puzzles archaeologists most is that there are actually two prehistoric black fossils. These two fossils are an old woman and a little girl. They were buried together with a protective plate on their heads. Archaeologists and anthropologists have studied the two skeletons, and judged that they belong to the black race according to the shape characteristics of the skull, the structure of the facial skeleton, the width of the lower forehead and the length of the forearm. Black Africans, to be exact.

This discovery surprised archaeologists greatly. Black people have always lived in sub-Saharan Africa, and there are no black people in Europe. According to records, it was not until 144 1 that Antonio, a Portuguese naval officer, captured a man and a woman off the coast of South Africa and brought them back to Portugal. Later, Antonio went to Africa with another fleet, where he captured 10 blacks and brought them back to Portugal for slave trade. This is the earliest record of black people being brought to Europe.

But these two bones belong to the Paleolithic Age 40,000 years ago. If there were blacks living in Europe at that time, where did they come from? How did it come into being? Some people say that it was born and raised in prehistoric Europe, so why did it disappear completely later?
