In a remote cave in southern Morocco, a team of scientists has unearthed what could be the oldest known piece of jewelry in human history. These tiny perforated shells, decorated and worn as adornments 150,000 years ago, are revolutionizing our understanding of the emergence of symbols, art, and culture among Homo sapiens.

Based on ongoing excavations, we follow the trail of a major archaeological discovery, revealing how a modest artifact can overturn an entire narrative about our origins.
