Researchers have uncovered evidence of a 25,000-year-old drug habit, shedding new light on ancient human practices and substance use.
In a remarkable archaeological discovery, evidence of a drug habit dating back 25,000 years has been uncovered, offering fresh insights into the lives of early humans. The finding suggests that the use of mind-altering substances is not a modern phenomenon but has deep roots in human history.
According to reports, researchers traced signs of ancient substance use that predate many known civilisations. The discovery highlights how early communities may have relied on such substances for ritualistic, medicinal, or social purposes.
Experts believe this evidence could reshape the understanding of prehistoric cultures and their relationship with naturally occurring psychoactive materials. Further studies are expected to explore the specific plants or compounds involved and their role in ancient societies.
