Conventional wisdom has it that the cradle of human civilisation was China or Mesopotamia (now Iraq) - although much of the proof has been destroyed by construction or war. Once upon a time, just about anyone could claim their object, building or man-made mound was the oldest in the world but the advent of radiocarbon dating has blown such pronouncements out of the water. What we do know now is that Stonehenge is but a whippersnapper in the megalithic world, and culinary tools were made before apes had fully evolved into homo sapiens.
Here's our guide to the earliest known endeavours of humankind, from the stone age to the industrial revolution and beyond, that can still be seen - until they're disproved by the next techno-historian.
What a load of tosh! You spout this stuff about radio carbon dating and evolution as though it was fact - the truth is it's sheer speculation and nonesense and many scientists are at long last waking up to that fact. Radio carbon dating is based on guess work and wild incomprehensible assumptions and evolution is a twisted theory drummed up by an intelligent but bitter old man who blamed God for the death of his daughter.
Tell the truth - and if you cannot tell the truth say nothing rather than make out to the Public that this stuff is fact when it is definately not!
