More accurate title: The oldest evidence we have for humans swimming is from 100k years ago.
The operational word about is "evidence"
It's inconceivable that humans or the evolutionary ancestors of humans did not swim before 100k years ago. After all, most mammals are able to swim to a certain extent.
- nerdponx 4y agoDo chimpanzees and bonobos swim?
- StanislavPetrov 4y agoDo chimpanzees and bonobos gather a significant portion of their food from water resources? Archeological records of ancient homonids show remnants of mollusks and fish going back long before this report of "evidence of swimming". It seems logical that species would proficient in moving about the environments where they regularly gathered food.
