Archaeologists in Nevada have announced the discovery of a rare set of 20,000-year-old petroglyphs depicting extinct megafauna, including the North American camel. The carvings were found in a secluded rock shelter in the high desert and are among the oldest examples of rock art ever documented in the Great Basin region.
The artistic style is remarkably detailed, showing the anatomical features of the humpless camels that once roamed the area during the Pleistocene. This discovery not only provides a new timeline for early human presence in North America but also highlights the deep ecological connection between Ice Age hunters and the species they coexisted with.
