The 25,000-Year-Old Teeth That Just Rewrote The History Of Human Drug Use
The Older Specimen: Maros-LBB-1a
The older of the two individuals — the one whose remains come from Leang Bulu Bettue and are dated to somewhere between 16,000 and 25,000 years ago — is the record-holder, and their remains deserve specific attention.
The jaw fragment and three molars are all that is preserved.
The individual is catalogued as Maros-LBB-1a in the scientific literature.
This designation reflects the Maros-Pangkep karst region of South Sulawesi where the cave is located, the Leang Bulu Bettue (LBB) cave specifically, and the sequential numbering of specimens.
The individual was an adult.
