6,000-year-old submerged bridge in Mallorca, Spain, reveals early human settlement of the Balearic Islands.
6,000-year-old submerged bridge discovered in Mallorca, Spain, reveals early human settlement of the Balearic Islands. The bridge, found in Genovesa Cave, suggests humans inhabited the western Mediterranean much earlier than previously believed, with artifacts indicating a sophisticated understanding of the cave's water resources and strategic infrastructure for navigation. The study, led by the University of South Florida, narrows the gap between timelines of islands throughout the Mediterranean and highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in historical research.
