The Groundbreaking Discoveries Historians Are Hiding From You
Michael Button, a fast‑growing YouTube historian, discusses three recent finds that could rewrite human prehistory. A CT‑reconstructed skull from China indicates large‑brained hominins were present a million years ago, far earlier than previously thought. Archaeologists uncovered a wooden structure dated to 476,000 years ago, showing sophisticated tool use well before Homo sapiens appeared. The post also notes that rising sea levels after the last ice age submerged most coastal sites, meaning recorded history represents only about 0.2% of humanity’s story.
