The 25,000-Year-Old Teeth That Just Rewrote The History Of Human Drug Use

At the end of this account, it is worth returning to the physical reality of the discovery.

Three molars.

A jaw fragment.

The remains of someone who lived and died in the limestone karst of South Sulawesi, somewhere between 16,000 and 25,000 years ago.

Almost everything else about this person is gone.

The soft tissues.

The rest of the skeleton.

The face.
