Scientists have discovered a plain that is now hidden by the sea, and was once a "safe haven" for ancient people.

Scientists working on the southern coast of Africa have always encountered certain problems in understanding the occurrence of certain evolutionary finds, since most of the landscape used by ancient people is now under water, and archaeological remains are in caves that now overlook the sea.

It is almost impossible to get close to the finds that scientists have at the moment due to tides and high waves. However, before in these places there was a vast plain. To the coast, sometimes it was as much as 90 kilometers! Archaeological evidence shows that this was the main food environment for early modern humans, and until recently, scientists did not know anything about it, reports popmech.ru
