Remains of a 3-year-old child discovered in a cave in Kenya called Panga ya Saidi are the oldest known burial in Africa. Researchers named the child Mtoto, which means 鈥渃hild鈥� in Swahili, and estimate that they lived around 78,300 years ago, making this the oldest deliberate burial found in Africa. 鈥淚t was a child and someone gave it a farewell,鈥� says researcher Mar铆a Martin贸n-Torres.
