The world's oldest complete wooden hunting weapons are 200,000 years old, not 300,000 as previously believed. This is shown by a new dating study that Zoran Perić from the Department of Geology participated in, which has now been published in Science Advances and highlighted in international media. The discovery indicates that the spears originate from Neanderthals, deepening our understanding of
